Dr Katie talks Medical Alternatives: what your GP can prescribe, CBT and casts her medics eye over herbal remedies

In this episode I'm back talking to Dr Katie and we’re looking at the alternatives to HRT that your GP can prescribe. We discuss how certain antidepressants can actually help with hot flushes and night sweats, rather than the fear of just being given them as a misdiagnosis of your Menopause. How Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can be a game changer and she casts her medics eye over some of the herbal remedies and what to be cautious about.
