Show Notes
Have you noticed unexpected shifts in your mood or anxiety levels lately? Menopause could be the reason behind it. In this episode, Dr. Allie Sharma, a seasoned psychiatrist, joins us to explain the often-overlooked connection between menopause and mental health.
Dr. Allie explores why hormonal changes—like drops in estrogen and progesterone—can bring on symptoms like anxiety, irritability, and even brain fog.
She shares her expert insights on recognizing these signs, navigating treatment options, and advocating for the support you need from healthcare providers. Plus, we discuss how to talk with family members about these changes so they can better understand and support you through this life stage.
