Cognitive changes during menopause are a common concern among women, often causing anxiety and impacting quality of life. These changes, typically associated with the menopause transition rather than aging or early-onset dementia, can include difficulties in learning and verbal memory. Evidence shows that declines in estradiol contribute to midlife cognitive difficulties, although normal cognitive function is generally maintained. This expert brief is designed to equip healthcare professionals with strategies to validate and reassure patients about the impact of menopause symptoms on cognitive function, and apply appropriate treatment approaches to support cognitive health during this transition.
