7.1 Menopausal Psychosis and Hormone Therapy: RANT and GUEST INTRO

Hey everyone, join us for the intro to our upcoming series on the role of female reproductive hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, on women's health, especially during times of transition, such as menopause, postpartum, or monthly cycles.  The title centers around clinical experiences with women having their first episode of psychosis and inpatient psychiatric hospitalization during menopause and I am joined by my friend and colleague, Dr. Jenny Wood, as well as another local OB/GYN and expert in the use of hormone (replacement) therapy, Dr. Ann Grider.  This is an issue that is not talked about enough and can be important to both the physical and mental health of HALF the population. In this segment, I give my typical introductory rant on the topic, then introduce our guests.  ENJOY.
