Description:
In the 30's, 40's, and 50's, many healthy women suddenly find themselves unable to come up with everyday words, remember their best friend's phone number, or even recite the names of their children without hesitation. In this groundbreaking book, Claire Warga, a neuropsychologist, identifies the mind misconnect syndrome that causes these unsettling events and shows that they are not signs of imminent madness, but a natural part of aging.

Drawing on the recent scientific research, Warga explains how changes in women's bodies before and during menopause affect concentration, memory, and other brain functions. She provides a self-assessment test to help readers determine whether they are experiencing mind misconnect syndrome and offers important information and advice on how symptoms can be alleviated or reversed with estrogen replacement therapy or non-hormonal treatments that mimic estrogen's mind-boosting effects. A self-screening test, symptom chart, and treatment-measurement technique offer important tools every woman can use to assess her condition and progress over time, with or without her ob/gyn.
