Despite years of symptoms including extreme fatigue, pain, heavy bleeding, mood changes andpostnatal psychosis, the role of hormones was repeatedly overlooked.

  • Bonus: When hormones are missed in mental health

    Bonus: When hormones are missed in mental health
    Mar 26 2026

    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.

I do not understand why these do not have millions of reviews these podcasts are so education and actually help women feel we are in control of bodies and that we can go to the GP and exercise our right to feel good. I wish all women would listen so we know what we can expect by educating ourselves. Thanks to women like DR Newson 💋
