Information

Date & Time

Description

Cognitive concerns are common during the menopause transition, and fears about dementia risk are prevalent. This workshop reviews mechanisms of menopausal “brain fog,” differential diagnosis, and evidence-based assessment. We will discuss risk modifiers (e.g., sleep, mood, cardiometabolic health, and others) and practical, non-hormonal strategies psychologists and other providers can use to support cognitive functioning and reassurance.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Differentiate normal menopausal cognitive changes from early neurodegenerative conditions using an evidence-based framework;

  • Identify key biopsychosocial and health-related factors that influence cognitive symptoms during the menopause transition;

  • Discuss clinically relevant strategies to assess, normalize, and support cognitive functioning in midlife patients.

Educational Goal

The educational goal of this workshop is to equip providers to more confidently assess, normalize, and address menopausal cognitive concerns.
