This #WorldMenopauseDay learn more about how menopause can impact on mental health, and where to find support 💙 The mental health symptoms of menopause can be overwhelming. Hormonal changes to your body have a big impact on the day-to-day functioning of the brain, changing how we think, feel and behave. And the physical symptoms of menopause cause changes to the body that can be upsetting, negatively impacting how we feel about ourselves. You’ve probably heard more about the physical symptoms of menopause than the mental health symptoms. Everyone’s experiences are different, but symptoms can include: - Anxiety, depression and suicidal feelings. - Feelings of emptiness, anger or self-criticism. - ‘Brain fog’, including problems with memory, concentration or general thought processes. Menopause can be particularly challenging for people living with existing mental health problems. And reaching out for support is made even more difficult by the stigma and misconceptions about menopause. - Menopause is often trivialised or joked about. - General attitudes to menopause can enforce ageist and sexist stereotypes. - Doctors haven’t always had enough training in menopause, and research into it is limited. If you’re struggling with menopause and looking for support, there are lots of different treatment options available, including hormone replacement therapy and talking therapies. Our online information can help you understand what’s best for your menopause journey. And includes tips for self-care to help you cope day-to-day. And if you’d like to support a loved one through menopause, we’ve got lots of great tips for you too ⬇ https://lnkd.in/eRghH_hq
