Women may be at greater risk of depression in this stage of menopause, study shows

Women who are subject to perimenopausal symptoms are 40 per cent more likely to experience depression than those who aren’t experiencing any menopausal symptoms, researchers report. — Shutterstock picPARIS, May 7 — Women may be at greater risk of experiencing depressive symptoms or depression during perimenopause, the transitory stage preceding menopause, according to a recent study by British researchers.

Especially since “menopause is most often preceded by a transition period of 2 to 4 years,” explains the scientific research organisation. This stage is known as perimenopause, during which menstruation can be irregular, and it can be associated with various symptoms . With this in mind, a team of researchers from University College London set out to investigate how the different stages of menopause may be associated with different risks of depression.

There are a number of limitations to this research, not least the lack of data on previous history of depression among the participants. This factor could prove decisive, as previous studies have shown.
