Dr Louise Newson has recently worked with a number of doctors and breast cancer charities to explore women’s experience of menopause care after breast cancer in the UK. A survey of over 1,000 women with a history of breast cancer was conducted and in this YouTube Live video, Dr Louise will discuss some of the findings.

In the UK, around 1.5 million people live with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), many of whom are undiagnosed. ADHD can impact daily functioning, and these challenges are often heightened during times of hormonal change, particularly during perimenopause and menopause.

Join Dr. Louise Newson and Dr. Judith Mohring for an insightful YouTube Live session as they explore the crucial connection between ADHD and menopause. In this discussion, they will cover:

1) How menopause interacts with women’s mental health and ADHD

2) The biological factors that link menopause to worsened mental health and ADHD symptoms

3) Evidence-based treatments that can help improve mood, boost focus and energy, and alleviate the effects of ADHD

Tune in for expert advice and practical solutions to better manage ADHD and mental health during menopause.

Hormonal changes, whether due to PMS/PMDD, menopause, or perimenopause, can lead to significant emotional and physical upheaval. The symptoms can vary widely in both intensity and type, making everyday life more challenging.

Chances are, you're not the only one feeling the impact either. Your loved ones, including children, may also notice shifts in your mood, energy levels, and overall behaviour.

You might find yourself feeling more fatigued, anxious, or irritable, and your patience at home could be wearing thin. So, how do you navigate these changes with your family? How much should you share with them, and what's the best way to communicate what you're going through?

In this week's YouTube Live Stream, Dr. Louise Newson will discuss practical strategies for talking to your family about hormone-related changes and how to foster understanding and support during this time. Don't miss it!
