Mid-life is a pivotal yet often overlooked stage for women. Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can profoundly affect mood, cognition, and wellbeing, presenting as anxiety, depression, irritability or rage, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
In this webinar, internationally recognised psychiatrist Professor Jayashri Kulkarni will examine the role of changing hormones in women’s mental health and their impact on assessment, diagnosis and clinical decision-making, drawing on emerging evidence in this evolving field
Professor Kulkarni graduated from Monash University medical school, and became a Fellow of the Royal Australian, New Zealand College of Psychiatrists.
Professor Kulkarni is nationally and internationally recognized for her pioneering hormone and trauma work in women’s mental health research. She founded and directs two large psychiatry research groups. In 2021, she developed and directs Australia’s first women’s mental health hospital at Cabrini Health, Melbourne.
She was awarded the Order of Australia for her service to Psychiatry in 2018 and two of the College’s most prestigious awards in 2024, for her research and for clinical service.
