This is Kieran. He is a GP and the husband of Lynsey who’s story I shared with you a few weeks ago. For those of you who don’t know Lynsey’s story already, her mental health deteriorated rapidly during her perimenopause. She sustained multiple fractures after trying to end her life and was in a trauma hospital for a few weeks. She was prescribed numerous drugs and even received nine sessions of ECT without any improvement. Kieran had to battle to finally have HRT prescribed for her which thankfully has seen her improve to the extent she no longer experiences these intrusive thoughts.
Sadly, Lynsey’s story isn’t a one off. There are many women who experience a decline in their mental health during menopause and feel the only answer is to take their own life. This ‘insight’ that Kieran describes here is something I see quite often and it’s very different to how people usually present when they are mentally unwell.
It’s really important that there’s more support for these women and that women’s hormones are not overlooked #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

Great blog by @H3l3n1976
"Many large companies have been tackled for ‘green washing’, after encouraging their customers to switch to electronic bills and statements with the incentive to switch based on unfounded environmental claims, such as “Save the planet – go paperless”."
