In addition Dr. Brizendine instructs and supervises residents, fellows, and medical students in this Clinic throughout the year helping young doctors learn more about this important area in women’s mental, sexual and physicalhealth. She annually teaches courses to medical students and residents addressing the topics of the brain effects of hormones, mood disorders, anxiety problems and sexual interest changes due to hormones throughout the country. She is an expert on the effects of testosterone on sex drive in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Dr. Brizendine has taken her interest in hormonal and health iissues for girls and women into the public forum by lecturing, writing and consulting on the topics of development of the female brain, the teen girl brain, hormones, mood, memory and sexual function. In fall 2006, Dr. Brizendine will expand the clinic to include teens for girls with mood, anxiety, eating, concentration or depression related to hormones of the menstrual cycle. How the changes in hormone levels effect the brain – and in particular – how hormones influence mood, irritability, anxiety, depresion, self-esteem, thinking, sleep, memory, and energy, are Dr. Brizendine’s main research interests.
