A Unique Drug-Free Approach to Menopause Relief
MEDIA ADVISORY - Free Community Information Session
Monday, February 17, 2014, Hamilton ON – While Hormone Replacement Therapy remains the most popular treatment for menopausal symptoms, studies suggests it may present risks with long-term use. A recent research study by Dr. Sheryl Green, Clinical Psychologist at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton, involves the development and implementation of a cognitive-behavioural intervention for symptoms of menopause. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) treatment is an approach that addresses dysfunctional emotions, thoughts, and behaviours through a systematic process and has been shown to alleviate the physical symptoms of menopause such as pain and hot flashes as well as medication or prescribed treatments.
Research participants have shown a significant improvement in quality of life after participating in CBT treatment programs after successful results of treating mood swings, anxiety, depression and sexual concerns that can be associated with menopause.
