What happens when perimenopause overlaps with neurodivergence – especially when a personal may be unaware of their neurodivergent profile? Dr Ceri Cashell (GP and co-founder of Healthy Hormones) and Dr Sarah Barker (Clinical Psychologist, Black Dog Institute) will explore supportive, respectful, and validating approaches to taking a comprehensive life history. Their discussion will focus on conducting thorough mental health assessments in the context of perimenopause, particularly when neurodivergence may be a contributing factor.

They will explore effective approaches for initiating conversations, identifying key questions to ask, and screening for co-occuring concerns. The discussion will also cover how to understand and navigate complex presentations involving perimenopause, neurodivergence, and mental health. Additionally, they will outline mental health referral pathways and highlight valuable online resources to support both patients and clients.

We warmly invite you to join use for this Short Mental Health Interventions perimenopause sequel – we look forward to a wonderful conversation together on this important topic!
