Here's something that might be of interest to women in peri/ menopause.
This is a copy and paste from a marketing email for a free menopause summit happening in a few weeks. Here is the link to register for those that are interested: https://ashleyturner.lpages.co/menopause-mental-health/
Medicine is not equipped to handle the reality most midlife women are living, and the numbers make it impossible to ignore.
35.6% of peri/menopausal women meet clinical criteria for depression.
People in perimenopause are 7x more likely to report suicidal thoughts than women at any other age.
66% of the women who go to their doctor about menopause-related mood changes walk out with an antidepressant prescription instead of answers.
The divorce rate among women over 50 has nearly tripled since 1990, peaking in the exact same years as perimenopause.
And $26.6 billion leaves the U.S. economy every year because women are leaving the workforce at the height of their earning power, quietly, without support, and without answers.
This is not a hormone problem with a simple fix. This is a convergence that is being under studied, under treated and unexplored.
If you are or have struggled in midlife...you are not alone.
And, it is not your fault.
Peri/menopause lands at the same moment as aging parents, shifting marriages, empty nesting or even new motherhood, grief about roads not taken, body image upheaval, ageism, low libido, identity loss, and a nervous system whose resilience has measurably dropped.
And the women going through it are being offered antidepressants or told to take HRT and come back in six months.
THE PROBLEM: Most women end up navigating the very real mental-emotional challenges of midlife alone and without a real framework.
While menopause educators may mention that depression and anxiety are symptoms, few offer in-depth solutions and tools to support the immense psychological and spiritual shifts we go through in midlife.
