    Area of Science:

    • Women's Health
    • Endocrinology
    • Psychiatry

    Background:

    • Menopause, typically between ages 40-55, signifies the end of reproductive years.
    • This transition involves cessation of menstruation, alongside biological and psychosocial shifts.
    • These shifts can act as stressors or facilitators, influencing mental health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the multifaceted nature of menopause beyond menstruation cessation.
    • To differentiate between menopausal stressors and facilitators impacting women's mental health.
    • To advocate for comprehensive physician care considering psychosocial factors.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of biological and psychosocial events during menopause.
    • Classification of menopausal experiences into stressors and facilitators.
    • Physician-patient care model evaluation.

    Main Results:

    • Menopause presents both challenges (stressors) and opportunities (facilitators).
    • Predisposed women may develop psychiatric disorders due to stressors.
    • Facilitators offer potential for personal growth.

    Conclusions:

    • Physicians should recognize both stressors and facilitators in menopausal women.
    • Comprehensive care involves addressing psychosocial aspects, not solely hormone therapy.
    • Understanding aging's impact on marital partners enhances patient care.
