Patient's question:
A friend of mine's mother is 55 years old this year. She was particularly kind and especially cheerful and optimistic before. Now, her mood isn't very good every day, so I'd like to consult about how to deal with emotional low periods during menopause.Doctor's answer:
Menopause is caused by the decline in hormone levels, leading to changes in women's emotions. If the symptoms worsen, it is recommended to consult a psychiatrist at the hospital to rule out the recurrence of depression. Estrogen supplementation may be necessary at times, and regular exercise is beneficial for stabilizing symptoms. It is advisable to communicate more with others, participate in activities such as singing, dancing, square dancing, and group sports. It is recommended to maintain a cheerful mood, engage in social activities, distract attention, get sufficient deep sleep, and pay attention to a regular diet to ensure the shortest possible time to navigate through menopause.
