Menopause and Depression overview
Menopause is the natural process that a woman’s body goes through. The body starts to prepare itself to end fertility and no longer release eggs from the ovaries. During this process, the levels of hormones will change, and certain symptoms can occur especially in the perimenopause stage. These changes can take years until menopause has been reached. Menopause is defined when a woman has had an absence of a period for twelve months. The change in hormone levels can cause certain symptoms some woman will suffer more than others.
