What it is...

From mood swings to brain fog, let's take a closer look at how menopause can affect our mental health and what we can do about it. Here are a few things that can help...

Regular exercise, a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and stress management techniques such as meditation or yoga can help alleviate symptoms like mood swings, anxiety, and depression.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other forms of talk therapy can provide valuable support during menopause.

In some cases, medication may be recommended to alleviate severe symptoms of depression, anxiety, or mood disturbances during menopause.

For women experiencing severe menopausal symptoms, especially those related to mood and cognition, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be an effective treatment option.

Some women find relief from menopausal symptoms through alternative therapies such as acupuncture, herbal supplements, or bio-identical hormone therapy.

Joining a support group or online community for menopausal women can provide valuable emotional support and validation.
