Episode 248: The Mental Health Crisis Nobody Warns You About in Perimenopause

A note before you press play: this episode includes an open conversation about depression and suicidal ideation. If that's not where you are today, it's okay to come back to this one later. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988. Dr. Yami Cazorla-Lancaster, host of the podcast I AM HUMAN, is a board-certified pediatrician and lifestyle medicine physician who has lived through depression and suicidal ideation — and she's talking about it. In this episode, Dr. Moyers and Dr. Yami have one of the most honest conversations in women's health about the hidden cost of holding it all together — and what becomes possible when you finally stop. They cover: physician mental health and burnout, the conditioning women absorb from religion and culture, why high-achieving women are often the last to seek help, what rebuilding actually looks like, and how Dr. Yami learned to give herself permission to want what she wants. This is not a perfect-recovery story. This is a permission slip. If you or someone you is struggling: call or text 988. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Carolyn Moyers 📸 Instagram: @drcarolynmoyers 🎥 YouTube: @drcarolynmoyers 🌐 Website: www.skywomenshealth.com 🔗 Find Dr. Yami: I AM HUMAN Podcast | @thedoctoryami | radianceunleashed.org
