Menopause and Managing Anxiety
As part of Henpicked's Lunch & Learn series here’s Dr Clare Spencer of My Menopause Centre. In this session we discussed the important topic of managing anxiety during the menopause and what you can do about it.
Did you know that anxiety is one of the lesser known symptoms of the menopause? Fluctuating hormones can cause feelings of anxiety or depression but what can you do about it?
