In recent decades, significant progress has been made in understanding the influence of sex hormones on women's mental health. The perimenopausal and menopausal periods are characterized by increased vulnerability to depression. This article provides an overview of current knowledge on the clinical specificities of perimenopausal and menopausal depression, the neurobiological mechanisms involved, and management recommendations. Integrating this knowledge into our clinical practice is essential for improving the quality of women's mental healthcare.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...
