Many women don't realise that changes in mood, anxiety, or emotional wellbeing can be connected to the menopause transition.
They may find themselves feeling more worried, overwhelmed, or unlike themselves, without understanding why these changes are happening.
Perimenopausal anxiety and depression is an important part of the conversation around women's mental health. Yet many women still try to manage these experiences on their own or aren't sure where to seek support.
One of the reasons Heather created The Pause Psych is to help women better understand the psychological side of menopause and recognise that they don't have to simply push through difficult experiences alone.
If something feels different, it is worth paying attention to.
