Mental Health and Perimenopause Study
This University of Bristol research project, led by Dr Jo Burgin, explored how women aged 45–55 understand and experience mental health symptoms during the perimenopause. It aimed to uncover how hormonal changes may be contributing to symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and depression, and how this is addressed in GP consultations. Although no longer recruiting, the study has contributed valuable insights into diagnosis and support needs for women in midlife.
