Hysterical: 'It was just overwhelming': mental health among Senate inquiry recommendations
The government is being called to respond to 25 recommendations from a Senate inquiry into perimenopause and menopause. The inquiry heard from hundreds of women across Australia, who shared stories of stigma, dismissal of symptoms and financial barriers. In this bonus episode of 'Hysterical', we hear from advocates and women with lived experience on what they want the federal government to do.
