Menopause and Mental Health: Understanding the Hormone–Brain Connection

Join Kate Organ for an empowering session exploring the often misunderstood relationship between menopause and women’s mental health.

This CPD will explore the powerful connection between shifting hormones, particularly oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone and key brain neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and GABA.

As these hormones fluctuate during the menopause transition, they can trigger psychological symptoms including low mood, anxiety, irritability, brain fog and sleep disturbance. These changes are often misdiagnosed as primary mental health conditions rather than recognised as part of a hormonal transition.

What You Can Take Away from This CPD:

• A clear understanding of how hormonal changes during menopause affect brain chemistry, mood, cognition and emotional regulation.
• Insight into the physiology behind the interaction between female hormones and neurotransmitters.
• Recognition of how menopause-related symptoms can be misdiagnosed as mental health disorders.
• Exploration of the full range of medical treatment options, including, hormone replacement therapy and non-hormonal alternatives.
• Practical, evidence-based lifestyle strategies that support women’s mental wellbeing in midlife, including, sleep, nutrition, stress management, movement and social support.
