September is Perimenopause Awareness Month – and we're marking it with a conversation too few of us talk about out loud.
Join board-certified psychiatrist, researcher, and bestselling author Dr. Judith Joseph for an honest, non-judgemental look at how perimenopause impacts your mental, emotional, and cognitive health.
The rage that comes out of nowhere. The anxiety that flares out of the blue. The brain fog, lack of focus, the sense that you've become someone you don't recognize. These aren’t character flaws or personal failures – there are real hormonal changes happening to your body and brain during the perimenopause transition. And the good news is there are things you can do to take control of your mental and emotional health.
➡️ What's actually happening in your brain during perimenopause, and why estrogen matters far beyond hot flashes
➡️ The mood and cognitive symptoms no one warned you about: rage, anxiety, depression, brain fog, and much more
➡️ Why perimenopausal depression and anxiety are often missed, misdiagnosed, or dismissed and who’s most at risk
➡️ Prescription options, from hormone therapy to antidepressants and beyond
➡️ Non-pharmacological approaches that can make a difference: sleep, movement, diet, CBT, therapy, and what the evidence actually supports
Note: If you’re unable to attend live, we will share a video replay of the talk with anyone who has RSVP’d.
