So where you have difficulty with your emotions and maybe get more anxious and depressed.

probably relates to those changes there.

But there are things that you can do to improve that transition through the menopause by having a healthy lifestyle.

So making sure that you get exercise, that you have good social support, that you

activate your brain by new learning because Eleanor McGuire has shown in one of her studies that you can actually increase the volume of the hippocampus, that brain area, if you learn and remember the location of places in space.

And we all know that women during the menopause, many of them are dealing with teenage children or they may be still at work.

And so the amount of stress that they have to cope with during that time can be

Quite a lot.

So if you're struggling and having problems, to make sure that you have good social support so you can discuss the issues and not sort of suffer on your own.

You talk about the design decisions that these social media companies have taken.

Can you be a bit more specific?

What are you looking at here?

The social media companies themselves have said that the evidence you're putting forward falls short of proving that they are responsible for alleged harms.

So that is how they will argue against this.

How difficult is it, do you think, to be able to explicitly show that it was social media activity that led to the harms that you're describing here?

What do you think the potential ramifications of this case could be in the future?
