Is there a link between hormones and mood? What is the menopause, the perimenopause and their effects? What kind of Hormone Replacement Therapies (HRTs) are available? How can we help patients who experience depression and mood problems?
These are just a few of the questions that Dr Monica Lascar, Functional Medicine Practitioner and Sexual Health Consultant, will be answering over the course of this webinar.
Dr Lascar sets out to demonstrate that mental health is just as important as the patient’s physical health when it comes to the menopause and perimenopause.
She will be refreshing your knowledge on menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms both physically and mentally. Understanding hormones, we will be exploring whether there is an evidence-based link with mood, looking into the effects on our neuro-steroids and neurotransmitters. Your patients may experience reproductive depression or mood problems such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) or postnatal issues, and we will be establishing why this is and how we can help them.
We will be outlining a brief history of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and delving into the current options for your female patients.
