Cognitive & Emotional Health Assessment in Central London
The Cognitive & Mood Change Assessment at LSDC Healthcare provides a clinically structured, consultant-led evaluation for women experiencing changes in memory, concentration, mood, or emotional resilience during perimenopause and menopause.
These symptoms are common, frequently misunderstood, and often misattributed to stress alone. Our approach ensures medical, hormonal, and psychological contributors are carefully assessed and addressed.
All consultations are delivered in a private, unhurried environment in the City of London, with clear clinical interpretation and personalised management.
What Is a Cognitive & Mood Change Assessment?
This assessment is a comprehensive medical review focused on cognitive and emotional symptoms that may arise during hormonal transition.
It evaluates:
Memory lapses and reduced concentration (“brain fog”)
Mood changes, low mood, anxiety, or irritability
Sleep disruption and its cognitive impact
Hormonal influences on neurotransmitter function
Medical or metabolic conditions that mimic menopausal symptoms
The aim is to differentiate hormonal effects from primary neurological or psychiatric conditions and guide appropriate treatment.
