Mental Health & Menopause
The hormonal changes that women go through in perimenopause & menopause can affect multiple areas of the body and brain. It can also be one of many events happening alongside; job changes, parental responsibility or caring needs. You could still be working full-time and having to juggle all other responsibility hats with the additional fear of the changes in your wellbeing.
