As menopause becomes a more prominent issue discussed in healthcare, the conversation highlights the importance of understanding the hormonal changes women experience during midlife. Many biopsychosocial influences in midlife influence our moods. We see an incidence of depression double, anxiety and panic attacks increase, and some individuals even present with a new diagnosis or exacerbation of underlying ADHD. In this episode of Therapy Café, we explore the crucial topic of menopause and its effects on mental health. Our special guests, Dr. Kathleen Jordan, Chief Medical Officer, and Joanna Strober, CEO and co-founder of Midi—a virtual care platform tailored for women over 40—share their expertise with host Marjorie Morrison, LMFT, LPCC, co-founder of Psych Hub. Our guests discuss the significance of recognizing the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause and how they affect women physically, emotionally, and mentally. By sharing practical strategies and evidence-based interventions, they offer hope and solutions to manage these life transitions effectively. The importance of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is discussed, alongside non-hormonal treatments and lifestyle adjustments. The episode serves as an informative guide for mental health practitioners providing tools to support aging women better and break the taboos surrounding menopause.
Learning Objectives:
Explain the physical and psychological symptoms commonly associated with hormone changes during perimenopause and menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, vaginal atrophy, fatigue, mood changes, anxiety, depression, and effects on sexuality
Discuss evidence-based hormone therapy options for perimenopausal and menopausal women, including types, benefits, risks, and individualization based on the patient's symptoms and medical history.
Describe the effects of perimenopause and menopause on mental health conditions in women, including potential effects on mood disorders, anxiety, psychosis, dementia, ADHD, and eating disorders.
Explain the mental health implications of early/premature menopause compared to menopause at average age.
Demonstrate cultural competence and sensitivity regarding diverse attitudes, stigma, expectations and experiences surrounding menopause and perimenopause.

Atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN) is a sub-diagnosis for patients who meet all the criteria for anorexia, except for being underweight. However, the term “atypical” is a glaring misnomer, as AAN affects up to 4.9% of people during their lifetime, whereas anorexia nervosa (AN) affects about 0.6%. Atypical anorexia became a subtype of other specified feeding and eating disorders (OSFED) in 2013, leading to many common misconceptions about the severity of the illness and its best treatment approach. In this episode, Dr. Cara Bohon, licensed clinical psychologist, Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University, and Senior Vice President of Clinical Programs at Equip, will explore these diagnostic labels, assess the severity and treatment trajectory for patients with AAN compared to AN, and propose considerations for future diagnostic clarifications.
Learning Objectives:
Explain the differences (or lack thereof) between atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN) and anorexia nervosa
Recognize the severity of AAN and the urgency for treatment
Identify necessary components for treatments for AAN

Bill Smith has had a successful political career working in campaign management, messaging research and communications, and movement building. When a family tragedy occurred, he became aware of the lack of accessible mental health care for children, teenagers, and their families. Bill decided to use his experience in politics to fight for the future of mental health through a coalition called Inseparable.
“There ought to be no wrong door and no wrong place to talk about mental health and what's going on in your life. If we can create that kind of environment, I am convinced we can get a whole lot of people who will look to the political system and say: We are not doing this right and we are not going to take it anymore. We are going to demand that you fix the things that are broken and that are keeping people from getting the help they need to have a good life.” - Bill Smith
Join Marjorie Morrison and Patrick Kennedy as they discuss how Inseparable and Bill Smith are partnering with leaders and community members to prioritize mental health care in schools.
Our guest, Bill Smith, is founder and president of Inseparable, and founding partner of Civitas Public Affairs Group, a values-based firm working on some of the most pressing societal challenges of our day.

He currently serves on the boards of End Citizens United and the Reconciling Ministries Network.
