Perimenopause. It seems to have boomed in awareness and for good reason. To find out more we speak to Dr Fatima Khan about everything from PMDD, symptoms of perimenopause, when it starts and how we address it (and also how is this fair!?!) As a leading perimenopause and menopause doctor, Dr Fatima combines a holistic approach with clinical expertise to offer treatments that support mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. We ask her…

• What is PMDD? • Is ADHD and PMDD connected? • How hormones impact mental health • What is perimenopause and when does it start? • The symptoms of perimenopause • How the shifting age of parenthood has compounded perimenopause • Patriarchy and perimenopause - why it isn’t a good mix • If you think you’re in perimenopause, what do we do? • What is HRT? • Did you know the most common symptom of menopause is joint pain • How trauma impacts menopause (and vice versa) • Reframing women’s health

You can find Dr Fatima Khan's book Hormone Health is Mental Health here.
