Patient's question:
In a short period of time, Mom's temper was particularly bad and she often argued with Dad. I want to consult how to treat mild depression during menopause.Doctor's answer:
Based on the information you provided, the diagnosis of your mother's "menopausal syndrome" should be reconsidered. Currently, there is no particularly effective treatment for patients with menopausal syndrome, so do not rely on folk remedies. The main approach is to enhance psychological comfort for the patient by alleviating psychological stress and increasing outdoor activities. At 52, she has been in menopause for nearly a year, and her temperament is unlikely to be due to menopausal syndrome. In the two or three years before and after menopause, it is common to experience irritability and mood swings, which are related to the significant fluctuations in sex hormone levels in the body. She can take many Chinese herbal medicines that nourish yin, clear heat, relieve irritability, and calm the mind, as well as digest estrogen.
