Lipoedema is a disease of the loose connective tissues leading to dysregulated and abnormal growth of mainly fatty tissue. This results in disfiguring and painful adipose tissue that appears disproportionate to the size and shape of the affected person’s body. It affects 11% of people worldwide and is very commonly misdiagnosed as lipoedema or obesity. Lack of awareness of this condition by the medical profession and an insistence that the adiposity is obesity causes significant distress in patients, particularly because this adiposity is not amenable to usual weight reduction measures.An urgent need for increased awareness and understanding among clinicians exists so that patients can be correctly diagnosed and evidence-based treatments options offered, and so that harmful narratives about this phenotype can be eliminated.

Around 80% of women in Australia will experience symptoms of menopause. 50% of women in their 50’s get significant symptoms; 20% get moderate or severe hot flushes or night sweats. Only 15-20% of women are on effective treatment for their symptoms.The overwhelming majority of Australian women experiencing menopausal symptoms will be managed exclusively by their GP. Despite the findings of the Women’s Health Initiative of 2002 now being largely rebuffed for its design imperfections, the negative views of menopausal hormonal therapy (MHT) and overstated risks of adverse effects endure in many health practitioners. Without the proactive and clinically up-to-date treatment via general practitioners, many Australian women face the prospect of a peri-menopause experience with inadequate access to appropriate therapies.Moreover, while mood symptoms are listed on the Menopause Symptoms Checklist, there is poor recognition and acceptance of the emerging evidence that the menopause can cause depressive illness in its own right, including in women who have never before had a mood disorder.A paradigm shift in thinking about mood symptoms in peri-menopausal women is needed- to understand the cognitive and emotional effects of oestrogen deficiency and to offer women appropriate and targeted therapies.
