Research on mental health during menopause

Описание: Mood and cognitive issues related to menopause are not well understood. There is hesitation to further stigmatize menopause as being a mental health issue. It is undeniable that hormonal changes affect mood and cognition, however, we have to address this in a way to not pathologically label natural processes in development as being “bad” or “negative. Instead they should be labeled as being natural with symptoms that may be problematic. In my lab, we are researching ways to treat bothersome mood and cognitive symptoms in a way that empowers patients so that they get the support they need to manage natural life cycles.
