TED talk on menopause and the brain

Thank heavens I didn’t hear any of this when facing menopause! My menopause was ‘natural’ (ie long before bc diagnosis and treatment) and was almost entirely symptom free. My GP at the time said that the best indicator of likely menopausal symptoms was your mother’s experience and that was certainly true for me. May be rubbish though. I had no hot flushes or anything else, my periods petered out and I had one heavy bleed after a pause (‘one last hurrah’ as my GP put it) and that was it. In the two decades post menopause, I took on three demanding jobs which I don’t think I could have done earlier - people management was paramount, as was inventive thinking. I’m with @kezmusc, let’s see some more, focussed research,  including why some women don’t have debilitating side effects. Is it all in the genes or what?
