Hormone Health is Mental Health
Hormone Health is Mental Health is a lifechanging guide to understanding perimenopause and midlife women's mental health - and how understanding your hormones is the first step to feeling like yourself again.
This book is for women in their thirties, forties, and fifties who feel like they're falling apart. Women who feel like their brains and bodies are betraying them, but nobody can tell them why. It's for women in perimenopause who don't even realise it - because they were told to look for hot flushes rather than anxiety, brain fog or rage.
Menopause expert Dr Fatima Khan reveals the explosive truth about perimenopause and the mental health crisis unfolding in women around the world. She exposes the medical blind spots that leave women misdiagnosed with depression and anxiety, unpacks the science of the hormone-brain connection, and delivers the three pillars of treatment and support that actually help.
Hormone Health is Mental Health covers everything you've never been told about your hormones, including:
- Why mental health symptoms arrive years before the first hot flush
- The hormonal shifts unmasking ADHD and neurodivergence in midlife women
- The truth about HRT and breast cancer risk
- The identity reckoning that no prescription can solve for you
- Scripts for every conversation - with your doctor, your partner, and your workplace.
This book will help you connect the dots, advocate for yourself and finally understand what's happening inside your brain. It pulls back the curtain on the perfect storm surrounding perimenopause, and guides women to finally reclaim their bodies, their minds, and themselves.
