Depression can often strike as your body travels through the seasons of change into the menopause. Menopause depression is far more than just having a bad day and it can manifest itself just as aggressively as any other type of depression can do. It is no different to any other type of depression leaving it’s victims with an abundance of negative feelings. This menopause symptom can last for years or be over in a matter of days and there’s no way of gauging its lifespan.

Menopause isn’t the cause of depression but it creates the right environment for it to take hold. Even though menopause and depression seem to go hand in hand, menopause isn’t the direct cause. On a physical level the body is undergoing some immense changes that in it can put a tremendous mental strain on the sufferer. You may notice that you don’t seem to have the energy you used to, this is due to the reduction in your estrogen and one of the most common symptoms is an unshiftable tiredness.

Some women simply coast through the menopause effortlessly whilst others battle with the pending loss of their fertility and youthfulness. Other terms used to describe this pivotal stage of your body’s change can be midlife crisis and this can widely affect men as well as women. Melancholy thoughts of past years and time running out without fulfilling ambitions can whirl round your mind and compounding the feelings of negativity.
