🧠 What does perimenopause do to the brain?

I just read that many symptoms of perimenopause actually start in the brain — mood swings, anxiety, brain fog, even sleep problems.

It’s not “just stress.” It’s our hormones changing how the brain works.
Still, scientists don’t really understand why it affects some women more than others.

Have you noticed changes in your mind — like focus, mood, or memory?
And do you think doctors take this part seriously enough? 💛
