MENOPAUSE CAUSING MAYHEM?

-

Is the menopause messing with your mind? A staggering 77% of women who report mental health problems during the perimenopa­use didn’t experience any difficulti­es before their hormonal shift, according to a new survey*. Plus, almost two-thirds of women aged 50-64 say the menopause has negatively impacted their relationsh­ip with their partner, while 20% report it affecting their wider social life.

But when it comes to support during this stage of life, everyone’s needs are different. ‘There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for the menopause. For lots of women it’s about seeking the right help,’ says Health & Her co-founder Kate Bache. ‘Visiting your GP is critical, as is looking at physical, psychologi­cal and social solutions, which all play a part.’ Input your symptoms at healthandh­er.com/symptomtoo­l to access advice that’s relevant to your unique menopause experience.
