From the opening chapter

Anxiety often becomes an unwelcome companion for many women in their 40s and 50s, emerging just when life demands the most. This period, marked by perimenopause, brings significant changes in how women experience anxiety, as physiological shifts intertwine with external pressures. Fluctuating hormones, like a chaotic orchestra, play a crucial role, with oestrogen and progesterone levels varying unpredictably. These changes can heighten anxiety, yet they are frequently unrecognised or misunderstood, leading to feelings of isolation or even dismissal by others. Consider Jane, a 45-year-old mother of two, who has successfully climbed the corporate ladder while balancing family life and personal ambitions. Recently, her usual stress has intensified into relentless anxiety that disrupts her sleep and undermines her confidence. Jane's experience is common, yet many face misconceptions about the nature of this anxiety. Often dismissed as "just stress" or attributed to "getting older," the deeper hormonal roots of midlife anxiety are frequently overlooked.
