Feeling more anxious, irritable, forgetful, or simply not quite like yourself lately? Perimenopause and menopause can affect more than your physical health. Shifting hormones can also impact your mood, sleep, anxiety levels, and ability to focus. In this episode, Dr. Jessica Ritch is joined by Dr. Susan Zink, a board-certified reproductive psychiatrist and founder of Elemental Integrative Psychiatry, to take a closer look at the connection between hormones, the brain, and mental health during perimenopause and menopause. They discuss anxiety, depression, irritability, sleep problems, and brain fog, along with the many factors that may contribute to these symptoms and treatment options that can help, including lifestyle changes, therapy, medications, and hormone therapy. If you’ve been struggling with your mood, sleep, anxiety, or brain fog, tune in to better understand what may be happening and the support available to help you feel better.
