Talking therapies may help menopause mood – study

A new study has found that talking therapies could help alleviate mood symptoms during menopause.

Menopause is a challenging time for many women, as hormonal changes can lead to mood swings, anxiety, and depression. This study suggests that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other talking therapies could be an effective treatment option for women experiencing these symptoms.

The researchers believe that talking therapies may help women develop coping strategies and improve their emotional well-being during this transitional phase of life.

While hormone replacement therapy is a common treatment for menopausal symptoms, not all women can or want to take hormones. Talking therapies offer a non-pharmacological alternative that may be more accessible and acceptable to some women.

Further research is needed to fully understand the impact of talking therapies on menopausal mood symptoms, but this study provides promising evidence for the potential benefits of psychological interventions during menopause.
