Bonus: When hormones are missed in mental health

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by mental health nurses Jayne and Diane to discuss the often overlooked role of hormones in women’s mental health.

Drawing on their experience working in mental health services, they share how hormonal changes are rarely considered when women present with symptoms such as anxiety, depression or mood changes. As a result, many women are given psychiatric diagnoses and medications without anyone exploring whether hormones may be contributing.

Together they discuss the impact this can have on women’s lives, the need for better education for healthcare professionals and why simple questions about hormones should become routine in mental health care.
