What You Didn't Know About Women's Brain Health

In this episode, Sidney speaks to Dr. Sherri Hayden, a clinical neuropsychologist and assistant professor at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Hayden speaks about the increased risk of neurological and mental health issues among women and the differences in the way that symptoms of these manifest in comparison with men, as well as the lack of clinical research reflecting these sex differences. Dr. Hayden also emphasizes how important it is for women to self-advocate when speaking to health care personnel, and for women in a caregiver position to look after their own mental health and wellbeing.
