Mental health issues can spike in perimenopause

I just rediscovered this older article from NPR by Rhitu Chatterjee in 2020, As Menopause Nears, Be Aware It Can Trigger Depression And Anxiety, Too.

This story does a great job of summarizing many of the mental health problems that can occur due to menopause, including potentially spiking during perimenopause. A good read for a comprehensive look at potential symptoms.

Unfortunately, this is also yet another article that describes how inadequate treatment often is, in part due to physicians lacking training in this area. This is another urgent problem that needs addressing.
