Menopause, Menstrual Cycles and Mental Health - diskuze

Women's health, and particularly the impact of hormones, menopause and contraception on mental health, has long been poorly understood and under-addressed in clinical practice. This pioneering guide offers mental health professionals a vital resource to assess, formulate and manage the psychological effects of gynaecological hormonal conditions. Drawing on current evidence, UK clinical guidelines and powerful testimony from experts by experience, the book explores the scientific foundations of hormonal influences on mental well-being. It highlights areas where research is lacking and reflects the realities of working within NHS services. Designed for professionals supporting women with menstrual disorders, hormonal contraception use or peri-/post-menopausal symptoms, this guide equips readers to deliver informed, compassionate care. It also addresses healthcare inequalities, particularly for women with severe mental illness who face barriers to accessing physical health care. Practical, evidence-based and deeply insightful, this is an essential reference for anyone committed to improving clinical outcomes in women's mental health.
