Only after begging my GP for 4 years to see a hormone specialist, I wouldn’t have been far off it myself. Awful story. So sad
Tragic story on the news this evening. A woman took her own life after failing to get the care she needed during her #menopause. We must work to ensure this does not happen to other women. @mymenopausedr @LizEarleMe @APPG_WH @paulasherriff @TalkingMeno

Yep,the only specialised,decent Hormonal Help is for rich Celebrities who can afford to regularly go Private. Women who have debilitating,severe symptoms mainly have to suffer in silence sadly

I was shocked to find out the average age for female suicide in the UK is 51-55 .... the same as the average age women go through the menopause. I set up a blog on my experiences and now 30k follow it .. http://www.facebook.com/menopausalwoman orhttp://www.my-menopause.com

No surprise. Yet another point in women's lives when our valid experiences are dismissed as "all being in your little minds". First generation of women to be reaching this age en masse with demanding, stressful work and domestic lives. We need our hormones back, that's all.

As you know Rachel I speak to women all the time who speak of despair at not getting the right help and support, we must ensure that we make real and last change.

And when you go to your GP you get told “it can’t be that bad” and sent away with antidepressants.
