Dr. Somi Javaid
After cancer, patients describe themselves as alien. They are dealing with chemo brain, altered anatomy and sexual changes.
I can say the same about menopause patients.
I had a patient cover all the mirrors in her home, because she did not recognize herself, the reflection felt alien and isolated her even more,
that is one of the most raw stories I can remember.
