Description

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common, yet under-recognized, endocrine condition, affecting 11-13% of females globally. People with PCOS have a three- and four-fold risk for developing depression, anxiety, and eating disorders, yet psychologists receive limited education and training to address the biopsychosocial and cultural determinants of PCOS-related mental health concerns. Dr. Phimphasone-Brady will address the need for improved clinician education in the comprehensive management of PCOS, discuss the current international guidelines and issues relevant to improving mental health and well-being in PCOS, and review specific evidence-based interventions and strategies for addressing the overwhelming mental health needs in PCOS.
