The Impact of Hormonal Changes on Women's Brains
Hormonal changes during key life stages significantly affect women's brain health, particularly during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. During these transitions, women experience altered brain function associated with fluctuating hormone levels. Research shows that menopause is not a linear process; rather, it involves distinct phases that can induce sharp changes in cognitive function and emotional regulation. These changes are essential for women to understand, as awareness can empower them to seek appropriate medical support and lifestyle adjustments.
