Menopause & Women's Mental Health
Menopause & Women's Mental Health
Understanding Menopause
Menopause is a natural life transition, but the physical and emotional changes that come with it can feel overwhelming. Hormonal shifts—especially changes in estrogen and progesterone—can affect mood, sleep, energy, and overall well-being. Many women are surprised to learn that symptoms during perimenopause and menopause can strongly influence mental health.
Common Emotional and Mental Health Symptoms
Not every woman experiences the same symptoms, but many struggle with:
• Mood swings or irritability
• Increased anxiety or depression
• Difficulty sleeping
• Low motivation or fatigue
• Brain fog or trouble concentrating
• Feeling overwhelmed or unlike yourself
These changes are real, common, and treatable. You don’t have to “push through it” alone.
How Support Can Help
With the right care, this transition can become a time of empowerment and renewal. My approach focuses on understanding your unique symptoms and helping you restore balance through:
• Mind–body strategies for emotional regulation
• Support for sleep, stress, and lifestyle habits
• Hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options
• Medication management when appropriate
• Compassionate space to explore identity shifts and life transitions
