Description:
"I'm losing it". "I'm going out of my mind". "I think I'm getting early Alzheimer's". These are not vague psychosomatic complaints, but the actual experiences of perimenopausal and menopausal women suffering from an assortment of unpredictable memory, speech, thought, and behavioral "flash" symptoms no one ever prepared them for.

Neuropsychologist Claire Warga identifies this disturbing set of cognitive symptoms and presents startling new neurological evidence of the changes that take place in the brain due to estrogen as women age. Warga presents self-screening tools that women can use on their own or with their doctors. In addition, she identifies treatment options from estrogen therapy to dietary alternatives to memory enhancement exercises. Her book is at once a battle cry against the medical establishment's failure to recognize and treat this serious and very real biological problem -- and a practical guide for all women from thirty-five to sixty who want to lead an active and productive life.
