           Associate Professor @drmsimonis is shedding a light on a serious issue: men's mental health. As she writes in @australian one in four men will experience mental health issues, with depression and anxiety topping the list.

             This #WorldMenopauseDay, we recognise the difficulty women have accessing the support they need for menopause and perimenopause. But as AMA Member @drmsimonis told @NewsTalk4BC this week, long-overdue momentum is building in the discussion about women's health issues 👏
