S9E3 - Menopausal Hormone Therapy

In this episode of The Psych Review the whole group is back to tackle the topic of menopausal hormone therapy for mood symptoms. Alanna leads the discussion which winds from our reflections on a lack of menopause related teaching during psychiatric training, to a critical consideration of the study design and quality of the findings, and also with multiple considerations of potential historical impacts of misogyny on this important area of mental health.  The reference for this episode is: \- Alanna: Glynne, S., Kamal, A., McColl, L., Newson, L., Reisel, D., Mu, E., Hendriks, O., Saini, P., Gurvich, C., & Kulkarni, J.
