Misdiagnoses & Hormonal Confessions: 8 Celebs Open Up About Perimenopause

For years, these women were told they were depressed. Anxious. Burnt out. Even bipolar. 🤝 Get your own personalised menopause support from Dr Naomi Potter and her team: https://www.menopausecare.co.uk/what-... In this powerful compilation episode of Is It Hot In Here?, we share eight moments from past celebrity guests where the penny finally dropped – the real cause of their symptoms wasn’t a psychiatric disorder, stress, or personal failure… it was perimenopause. From fears of early-onset dementia and brain tumours, to antidepressants prescribed as a quick but ineffective fix, these stories expose how often women’s hormonal transitions are misunderstood, dismissed, or missed entirely. If you’ve ever been told “it’s just anxiety”, “it’s probably stress”, or “this happens to everyone” this episode is for you.
