Menopause and perimenopause bring profound changes, yet their symptoms are often misunderstood, minimized, or misdiagnosed. 

Many women experiencing cognitive fog, mood shifts, sleep disruption, or heightened anxiety are told they have primary anxiety disorders, depression, OCD, or other mental health conditions. But in many cases, these symptoms are rooted in hormonal transitions that are rarely discussed openly and even more rarely recognized in clinical settings. In this eye-opening webinar, Dr. Corinne Menn, OB/GYN, menopause specialist, and breast cancer survivor, uncovers the hormonal, neurological, and emotional realities of the menopausal transition. She will explain how these changes can mimic or worsen mental health conditions and why accurate recognition is essential for effective care.

This session is ideal for anyone seeking a clearer, more compassionate understanding of how menopause intersects with mental health. Join us to unmask the truth and to equip yourself with tools that lead to better support, better care, and better outcomes

Discussion will include:

• Understanding the physiology of perimenopause and menopause, and how hormonal fluctuations affect the brain and body.

• Recognizing hallmark signs and symptoms, with special emphasis on cognition, mood, anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances.

• Identifying risk factors for perimenopausal mood disorders and who is most vulnerable.

• Exploring evidence-based treatments and solutions, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), non-hormonal options, and lifestyle interventions proven to support mental and emotional well-being.
