About this event
Depression in women in their mid-40’s to early 50’s is a significant problem. An estimated 40% of perimenopausal women present to their primary healthcare physicians with depressive symptoms. Not coincidentally, suicide rates for women are highest in the 45–64 age group.
One in Five have partnered with HER Centre Australia to conduct new research to better understand and treat menopausal depression.
Join us for a sit-down lunch to raise funds for research into the mental effects of perimenopause and menopause.
