Does depression worsen during menopause?

Menopause can unfortunately (but does not have to!) intensify the discomfort associated with depression. It is estimated that perimenopausal women are more likely to develop depression, which is probably due to drops in estrogen levels, as well as age-related changes in personal and professional life. If you feel your symptoms getting worse, contact your doctor who may modify your treatment. In addition, I will also mention that the most beneficial effects in the treatment of depression give a combination of drugs and psychotherapy. On GdziePoLek there are consultations with a psychologist, which may be useful - I enclose the link: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja/z-psychologiem Below are some articles that may be of interest and a video: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/depresja https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/menopauza-jak-zmniejszyc-dolegliwosci
