Researchers examined data from seven studies involving more than 9,000 women around the world
Perimenopausal women have a 40% higher risk of experiencing depression than premenopausal women, a global analysis of research suggests.
Experts from University College London (UCL) found women could be vulnerable to depression in the run-up to their periods stopping, with the development of new cases or existing symptoms worsening. The research underlines the need to provide support and screening to effectively address women’s mental health needs.
