Menopause mood, anxiety and brain fog in Australia in Bulimba

What this view shows
Vetted, menopause-informed providers who help with the mood and cognitive changes that are common in perimenopause and menopause, including low mood, anxiety, irritability, and the brain fog that can affect memory and concentration. These changes are real and hormone-related, they are not a personal failing, and they respond well to support.

• If low mood or anxiety is affecting your daily life, a menopause-informed GP or psychologist can help you find the right support.
• If brain fog is worrying you, it is common at this stage and usually improves, and a clinician can talk it through and rule out other causes.
• If your symptoms feel sudden, severe, or overwhelming, please reach out to a doctor or a support line today.

Who can help: a menopause-informed GP as a first step, a psychologist for evidence-based approaches such as CBT, a counsellor for talk-based support, and a women’s health clinic for coordinated care.
