#MENOPAUSE 

Take a far-too-taboo subject like menopause. Mix in a still-stigmatized topic like mental health. The result? Little understanding of how perimenopause-the beginning of the menopause transition and a time of dramatic hormonal fluctuations-can trigger depression, anxiety, irritability, and other mental health challenges for many women. In fact, almost 40% of women in late perimenopause report symptoms of depression. And women with prior mental health challenges are even more at risk for symptoms during the menopause transition. Fortunately, you don’t have to “suffer through it;” treatment options exist to help you feel better.
Join us for an incredible panel of experts in reproductive mental health-the intersection between mental health and women’s main reproductive transitions of puberty, pregnancy and menopause. Dr. Lee Cohen is a national and international leader in the field of women’s mental health and was among the founders of the field of Perinatal and Reproductive Psychiatry. Dr. Lisa Weinstock is a distinguished perinatal/reproductive psychiatrist in private practice committed to caring for women throughout the menopause transition. Dr. Sipra Laddha is a psychiatrist and co-founder of LunaJoy, a telemedicine platform to support women's mental health from adolescence through menopause. And Let’s Talk Menopause's co-founder, Donna Klassen, LCSW, is also a psychotherapist in private practice specializing in reproductive mental health. They will help us understand and navigate this critical-and under-researched-topic of mood and menopause.
