In this episode, Hannah chats to the incredible Professor Jayashri Kulkarni who is a world leading expert in women’s mental health and a specialist in how hormones may impact our brain and mental health. She directs a research centre, has set up the first australian all female psychiatric ward, has won many prestigious awards for her research work, and has pioneered the use of oestrogen as a new treatment in schizophrenia. She is truly phenomenal and I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to pick her brains. We discuss a range of topics relating to women mental health such as the impact of hormone fluctuation, sex and gender differences between men and women, the impact of trauma, and much more.
