*Please note the prescribing of medication is at the discretion of your Practitioner.
A My Clinic consultation makes time to work out what’s actually going on. Not a quick reassurance, not a default prescription, not “have you tried meditation”.
Hormonal anxiety can look like racing thoughts at night, panic without an obvious trigger, a low background dread, or feeling overwhelmed by things that used to be easy. Sometimes it sits alongside sleep disruption, mood changes, or hot flushes. Sometimes it arrives on its own, before anything else has changed.
We look at the full picture: your history, what you’re noticing, what’s worsening, what’s worked or hasn’t, and whether hormones are part of it. Anxiety can also have causes unrelated to perimenopause, and we take that seriously too.
Treatment can depend on what’s driving things. Hormonal support, lifestyle changes, talking therapies, or medication may all play a role. The conversation comes first.
Seek support if anxiety is affecting your daily life, relationships, work, or sense of yourself; if anxiety appeared or significantly worsened during your perimenopause years; if standard anxiety management approaches have not been as effective as expected; if anxiety is accompanied by other perimenopause symptoms such as hot flushes, sleep disruption, or irregular periods; or if you have a prior history of premenstrual mood sensitivity, postnatal depression, or other hormone-related mood changes. Anxiety can have causes unrelated to menopause, and a thorough conversation with a knowledgeable health professional is the most reliable way to understand what is driving your experience.
Treatment options vary for every person. Any prescribing or management plan is determined by your Nurse Practitioner based on your individual health history and needs.
Anxiety during perimenopause is rarely one-size-fits-all. What helps depends on your symptoms, your history, and where you are in your hormonal transition — and working that out is exactly what our Nurse Practitioners are here for.
In a telehealth consultation, your clinician will take the time to understand your full picture — not just the anxiety, but everything else you’ve been experiencing. From there, they can talk through the options that may be most appropriate for you.
If you’re not sure whether what you’re feeling is hormone-related, that’s completely fine. Book a consultation and let’s figure it out together.
Not sure if you symptons match the condition. Not a problem, one of our clinicians can discuss them with you and help narrow down possible causes and effective treatments. Just book a general health appointment.
