PMDD, Postpartum, Perimenopause: Dr. Stacy Cohen Reveals What Doctors Miss | SHE MD

Описание: In this episode of SHE MD Podcast, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney are joined by psychiatrist Dr. Stacy Cohen to explore how hormones shape women’s emotional health across life stages. They dive into PMDD, postpartum mental health, perimenopause, and menopause, explaining these transitions as neurological and hormonal events rather than simple mood disorders.

Dr. Cohen discusses how progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone affect mood, sleep, libido, and cognition, and why low-dose supplementation can be life-changing. The conversation also clarifies when medications like SSRIs are necessary, the risks of overprescribing without psychiatric follow-up, and how to safely taper or adjust treatments. Listeners learn practical strategies to optimize mental health through hormone therapy, supplements, lifestyle changes, and nervous system regulation.

The episode also covers early recognition of perimenopausal changes, postpartum support, and how to advocate for individualized care. Listeners will walk away empowered to understand the role of hormones in emotional regulation, sleep, and relationships, and to seek the care that aligns with their unique needs.
