Anxiety
Menopause can trigger or exacerbate anxiety symptoms. Women may experience feelings of restlessness, excessive worry, panic attacks, or a general sense of unease. Anxiety can be related to the physical changes and uncertainties that come with this life stage.
Sleep disturbances
Many women going through menopause struggle with sleep disturbances, such as insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns. These sleep problems can contribute to fatigue, mood changes, and overall mental well-being.
Cognitive changes
Some women report experiencing memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, and “brain fog” during menopause. While research is ongoing, hormonal fluctuations are believed to play a role in these cognitive changes.
Decreased self-esteem
The physical changes associated with menopause, such as weight gain or changes in body shape, can impact a woman’s self-image and self-esteem. This, in turn, may contribute to feelings of sadness or loss of confidence.
Understanding Menopause and Mental Health
The menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life, but it can bring about a range of physical, emotional, and psychological changes. Many women experience symptoms such as anxiety, depression, mood swings, irritability, sleep disturbances, and difficulties coping with stress during this time. At NHS Talking Therapies, we recognise the impact these symptoms can have on your overall well-being and are here to help you address and manage them effectively.
