Perimenopausal women have a significantly higher risk for depressive symptoms and diagnoses about 40% higher compared with premenopausal women.
The drop in estrogen women experience during menopause could trigger the onset of new symptoms or the worsening of pre-existing depressive symptoms due to its impact on neurotransmitter metabolism.
Common mental health symptoms during perimenopause include low mood, anxiety, mood swings, low self-esteem, memory, and concentration issues.
