Digital devices are everywhere. Whilst these devices can enhance learning and enhance
community, they can also interfere with everything from sleep to mental health.

The blue light emitted suppresses secretion of the hormone Melatonin causing disruption in
sleep. Every hour of blue light steals 16 minutes of your sleep.

Excessive screen time is linked with a reduction in REM (deep) sleep, which is essential for
turning information into memory, means even if you stay awake in maths class today you
may not remember the equation you were taught tomorrow.

A study of 40, 337 children and adolescents found that regardless of the type of screen
used, more than 7 hours of screen time was associated with increased risk of low well�being, not being able to stay calm, not being curious, arguing with caregivers and in 14- 17-
year olds a significant increased risk of depression or anxiety and requiring input from a mental health professional or medication for a psychological issue.

Early data from a landmark National Institutes of Health (NIH) study that began in 2018
indicates that children who spent more than two hours a day on screen-time activities scored lower on language and thinking tests, and some children with more than seven hours a day of screen time experienced thinning of the brain’s cortex, the area of the brain related to critical thinking and reasoning.

Are you trying to keep track of the physical and psychological symptoms that may be associated with your hormones so you can be certain about what’s right for your body and your mind during the perimenopause and menopause?

As female led clinic we would personally
recommend the Balance App which has been developed alongside the Royal College of
Gynaecologists.

The app helps you monitor sleep, mood, libido, energy and much more. This can help you identify, alongside the information in the previous post, if you have Depression,
Anxiety or hormonal mood swings.

It can really help when discussing your symptoms with your GP as you can get a data sheet of your symptoms over a number of months. It’s also very useful to know which week of the month you are more tired so you can schedule extra self-care that week.

The Psychology Rooms is a female led mental health clinic with expertise in the relationship
between mental health and physical health condition. Please get in touch if we can help you on your journey through perimenopause and menopause.

It’s well recognised that major life changes can bring on depression.

Unfortunately, many women are going through life changes and stressors (children leaving home, divorce, looking after aging family members, promotion at work etc) around the time of the perimenopause or
menopause.

At the same time, you’re up half the night with hot flushes. You’re too tired to socialise. S*x may have become uncomfortable because of vaginal dryness, or poor body image or low self-esteem causing a disconnect with your
partner. Going through ‘the change’ also means you can’t have more children - and even if you didn’t want to, the fact that you now have no
choice can take a toll.

We can often dismiss our low mood as “just hormones.” However, if you
have the symptoms in the questionnaire above and especially if you score above 9 it’s time to speak to your GP and consider psychological therapies.

Please get in touch to book an appointment or for more information.

The menopause can feel like a big change physically and mentally, so it’s important to give yourself the time and space you need to work through these changes.

It can be difficult to find time for yourself when you are juggling a busy life, working and supporting family.

As a female led clinic, we spend a lot of our time sharing tips on how to manage symptoms of the perimenopause and menopause and wanted to share these with you.

Good sleep is the foundation of good mental and physical health. If you’re having night sweats, you may find the chillow pillow or a similar product helpful (search this on amazon there are lots of
choices).

Sleep hygiene is really important so consider your night time routine- how much
screen time and caffeine am I having around bedtime. Is it too warm or too light. If anxious
thoughts are keeping you awake try mindfulness or CBT.

We’d be happy to help you learn these techniques which have been proven to help with mood, self-esteem, sleep,
motivation and pain.

While the menopause isn’t a mental health condition, it can affect your mental health. For
no reason at all you can feel anger, sadness or anxiety. Some of the physical changes woman
experience such as weight gain can affect the way they feel about themselves, their
confidence and self-esteem.

Poor body image can lead to poor libido and relationship difficulties.

Many women will experience problems with sleep. Lack of sleep and tiredness can also make symptoms including irritability, ability to concentrate or anxiety worse.

Tiredness can also reduce motivation to exercise or socialise causing a vicious cycle with poor body image and low mood.
Hormone changes during the perimenopause and menopause can also make pre-existing
mental health conditions worse.

If you have a history of depression, you’re more likely to be depressed during menopause. If you have bipolar disorder, you may experience more
depressive episodes. This is likely to be linked to a decrease in oestrogen.

If you have schizophrenia, you may find your symptoms get worse and you need a higher dose of medication.

There is a significant amount of medical research proving that psychological therapies can be beneficial during the menopause.

The Psychology Rooms is a female lead mental health clinic with expertise in the link between physical health and mental health. Please get in
touch if we can be of any assistance in your journey through perimenopause and
menopause.
