This 🔥 Hot Topic 🔥 explores how puberty-related hormone fluctuations may ⬆️ mental health risks in ♀️ adolescents. Treatment guidance is lacking, underscoring the need for longitudinal studies & cautious adaptation of adult interventions 💊 / @sibelnayman.bsky.social

Hi Anthrodiva, early menarche is commonly defined as menstruation Inder before age 12 (as in the paper we cite on its association with mental health outcomes), though other definitions exist. Best wishes 😊

Research on menstrual-cycle-related phenomena in mental health is growing - but what does this mean for puberty, the stage when cycles begin?
Puberty may be a critical window for the emergence of cycle-related symptoms - yet adolescent-focused research and treatment approaches are still lacking..

Thank you so much, Manuel! 😊

A highlight was the Women’s Mental Health Seminar with Psych students, where I had the chance to answer their thoughtful questions on PMDD in clinical practice. This led us to discussions about therapeutic attitudes and personal values in the current challenging times, a truly hope-giving exchange🩵

While specialized services remain essential, #cycle-sensitive diagnostics and treatment should be integrated into #standard mental #health-care.

Thanks to everyone who is showing #awareness for this important aspect of mental health care.
