New studies suggest hormone therapy may alleviate "brain fog" and mood changes during menopause. The hormone therapy, also known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), may address cognitive difficulties and emotional disturbances experienced by many women during this transitional phase. One study published in Scientific Reports found that a combination of estriol and progesterone hormones could help ease symptoms of brain fog, memory lapses, and slower thinking in menopausal women.
Another research in the Menopause journal demonstrated that hormone therapy could improve mood changes, including depression, irritability, anxiety, and mental exhaustion, affecting up to 68% of women during menopause. Although previous warnings about potential risks, such as dementia, have been raised, recent findings indicate that hormone therapy may not increase dementia risk and could offer benefits for mood symptoms in women experiencing menopause.
