Menopause Matters, Let’s Talk

The psychological & emotional symptoms.

Season 1, Ep. 4
•

Thankfully there has been increased awareness about these symptoms in relation to the Menopause in recent years. They are incredibly common and can be some of the most debilitating symptoms that people will experience…but don’t forget, not everyone will experience these symptoms.

It can be challenging for some people to identify the cause of these symptoms, as it’s not always related to hormones - there can be many contributory factors.

We discuss the range of options which can help to manage these symptoms. 

Is it right to take antidepressants, should you take HRT, is a combination acceptable? 

We go through alternative options for you to consider, either on their own or in combination with the above, but remember taking an individualised approach is always important. 

We also continue the conversation about HRT.
