What happens when perimenopause overlaps with neurodivergence - especially when a person may be unaware of their neurodivergent profile?

Dr Sarah Barker (Clinical Psychologist, Black Dog Institute) and guest Dr Ceri Cashell (GP, Avalon Family Medical Practice) and 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-occurring concerns. The discussion will also cover how to understand and navigate complex presentations involving perimenopause, neurodivergence, and mental health. Join us for this Short Mental Health Interventions perimenopause sequel.
