Watch "Perimenopause Explained"

While we now know a thing or two about menopause, perimenopause is still a mystery to many. Yet everyone who menstruates goes through perimenopause.

Watch the latest episode in our You & Your Brain series to hear from leading experts who shed light on perimenopause.

They explain the difference between perimenopause and menopause, what symptoms are related to perimenopause, how this change affects all areas of the brain and body, and what women can do to embrace this stage of their life.
