52 – Why psychiatrists must start thinking about hormones

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by consultant psychiatrist Dr Gareth Jarvis to explore the important, and often overlooked, connection between hormones and mental health.

Louise and Gareth discuss how hormonal changes can often contribute to depression, anxiety, sleep disturbance and severe mental illnesses. They also explore why psychiatrists are rarely trained to consider hormones as part of their assessment and treatment, despite clear evidence of the impact of the hormones progesterone, estradiol and testosterone on brain function, mood regulation and long-term mental health.

This episode highlights the importance of curiosity, education and collaboration across specialties.
