A Brain for Life: Menopause [soft Cover ]

Menopause can impact on a woman's health, relationships, daily functioning, career, mood and emotions, and profoundly affect her quality of life. Hormonal changes fundamentally impact not only the female body but also the brain and mind. For many women, menopause can become a time when they become vulnerable to mental health issues. Although approximately fifty per cent of the population experiences menopause, there is no general conversation, awareness or acceptance of this natural passage in life. It is vital to get through the quiet that surrounds menopause. By discussing the process, this book aims to reduce the potential for negative impact, build understanding and compassion, and significantly improve the mental and physical wellbeing of women.
