A short YouTube segment by Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter addressing mental anxiety during perimenopause and menopause. The speaker describes feeling unlike oneself and new anxiety attacks during perimenopause, criticizes traditional medicine for overprescribing antidepressants, and recommends hormone testing and estrogen replacement as a potentially more appropriate treatment for some women.
Instead of going to the root of the problem and testing their hormones. Good morning. One of the things I wanted to talk about is the mental anxiety that comes along with perimenopause and menopause and how it's just never dealt with traditional medicine. And I myself often noted that I just didn't feel like myself, that the most debilitating part of perimenopause is going through the day and feeling like, this is not me. Why don't I feel like myself? Why am I getting these anxiety attacks I've never had? And the number one most prescribed drug to women with perimenopause symptoms is actually antidepressants. Instead of going to the root of the problem and testing their hormones. Estrogen is our soothing hormone. And as we start to lose estrogen through the journey of perimenopause and menopause, sometimes that can be the best replacement instead of antidepressants.
