Approximately two thirds of women report cognitive symptoms during menopause, predominantly related to memory and attention. For some women, this is a minor inconvenience, for other women, the cognitive symptoms induce anxiety, impact self-esteem and raise concerns about early onset dementia or possible attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. This session will address the characterisation and assessment of cognitive symptoms during peri- and post-menopause as well as provide an update on research exploring associations between cognition, neuroendocrine changes and other menopause symptoms (such as sleep, vasomotor and mood). The session will also discuss management options for cognitive symptoms.
