Anxiety, brain fog, mood swings — is it menopause or something else? A GP and psychologist explain what’s going on and how to cope.
Understanding Mental Health in Perimenopause & Menopause
Perimenopause and menopause bring far more than hot flushes and disrupted sleep — for many women, this life stage also brings panic, low mood, irritability, brain fog, and a sense of just not feeling like themselves. Yet these mental health changes are often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or dismissed.
This educational event brings together women’s health GP Dr Natasha Feingold and clinical psychologist Dr Maria-Elena Lukeides to give you a clear, evidence-based understanding of what’s happening in the brain and body during this transition — and practical strategies to manage it well. We’ll also have a Q & A time at the end to answer any burning questions you may have!
What you’ll learn:
- How fluctuating hormones affect mood, anxiety, and cognitive function
- How to tell the difference between hormone-related symptoms and other mental health conditions
- Psychological strategies and coping tools for managing mood changes, anxiety, and burnout
- Lifestyle and medical treatment options and how they can support mental wellbeing
Who this is for:
Anyone experiencing (or anticipating) perimenopause or menopause, as well as partners, family members, and health professionals who want a deeper understanding of this often-overlooked side of the menopause transition.
