Session 3: Women's Mental Health Across the Lifespan

Throughout their lifetimes, women will experience changes in their moods as a consequence of aging. From puberty to post-menopause, these physical, emotional, and physical changes can be confusing and concerning. In Session 3, Assistant Professor Lindsay Standeven addresses the transition to menopause, called perimenopause, and how it represents a time of hormonal change and increased risk for mood and physical symptoms that can affect quality of life and the ability to function in one’s daily life. This lecture will describe the emotional, mental, and physical changes that can occur in the menopause transition and discuss various therapeutic approaches and treatments.
