Penny Lancaster has revealed that she was mistakenly prescribed anti-depressants by her doctor before accessing hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The British former-model and TV presenter was recently unveiled as one of the famous faces fronting the Let's Chat Menopause movement.
It is a campaign spearheaded by the Wellbeing of Women charity focusing on women's health which aims to tackle the stigma surrounding the menopause. Speaking on ITV's Lorraine, 51-year-old Lancaster spoke candidly about her own experience.
She said: "I put it down to the lockdown. I thought 'Well everyone's under pressure at the moment, everyone's suffering' so it must be that."
