Important research focusing on female suicide prevention & hormone treatment- a neglected area until recently. Soon to share study findings & build on this important research @NHSuk @IASPinfo @NIHRevidence @LJMUImpact @rcpsych @balanceMeno @livhendrikspsyc #suicideprevention
We are funding a PhD student in suicide prevention with @LJMU Many women with hormonal changes including PMDD, perimenopause and menopause have low mood, anxiety and intrusive thoughts yet hormones are not considered as part of their treatment often.
