<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An essential guide for every woman over the age of 30, this book focuses on one of the least understood, and most ignored, aspects of the aging process--the cognitive problems that accompany the decline of estrogen levels.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Are you between the ages of 35 and 60 and having trouble remembering your best friend's phone number? If this sounds familiar to you, take heart: Claire Warga's help and advice are on the way. <br> In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Warga, a neuropsychologist, identifies the mind misconnect syndrome that causes unsettling events during perimenopause and menopause, noting that they are not signs of imminent madness but a natural part of aging. <br> Drawing upon cutting-edge brain research and many never-before-described cases, Warga provides the first scientific explanation for why the symptoms occur and reveals how they can be reversed or alleviated. She provides a self-assessment test to help readers determine whether they are experiencing mind misconnect syndrome and offers important information and advice on estrogen replacement therapy as well as non-hormonal treatments that mimic estrogen's mind-boosting effects. Her self-screening test, symptom chart, and treatment measurement technique are important tools every woman can use to assess her condition and progress over time, with or without her ob/gyn.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Are you between the ages of 35 and 60 and having trouble remembering your best friend's phone number?
