“…Co-morbidities, sleep issues, and stressful life events, all of which are unrelated to the menopausal transition, play a significant influence. Ethnicity, culture, tradition, prior history of depression, body mass index, degree of education, and marital status, on the other hand, are all linked to postmenopausal depression 44,45 . Longitudinal studies demonstrate that the risk of depressive symptoms increases with age in women.…”

Background: Menopause occurs between the ages of 40 and 50, and marks the end of a woman's menstrual cycle. A period of time during which a woman does not have a monthly cycle for more than 12 months is known as post-menopause. Women may suffer challenges in their daily lives during this period, such as depression, anxiety, and sleep loss, all of which can have a negative impact on their quality of life. A decrease in hormone production, such as estrogen and progesterone, can cause menopause. To treat psychological difficulties in menopausal women, drugs such as vortioxetine and paroxetine, as well as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) and anti-depressants, were advised. Objective: To evaluate the effects in women how menopause inducing depression, anxiety, quality of life and lack of sleep. Methodology: The recent studies related to the aim of the review were undertaken through a literature search to evaluate the effects in women how menopause inducing depression, anxiety, quality of life and lack of sleep. Conclusion: Menopause, post-menopause, and peri-menopause are age-related causes in women who are going through the menstrual cycle. There is no need for medication during this time, but in severe cases, medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) and antidepressants should be administered and also for vaginal dryness and irritation Ospemifene is suggested. Many more clinical researches on the benefits of menopausal compilations will be needed in the future. Keywords: Menopause, post- menopause, depression, estrogen, progesterone

“…Their suicidal ideation is also more than twice compared to that of young adults aged 25 to 34 [4]. Postmenopausal women are more likely than premenopausal women to experience depression [5]. According to a study that used Korean panel data [6], the higher a middle-aged adult's nutritional, housing, occupational, economic, or healthcare deprivation, the higher their risk of chronic mild depression or severe depression.…”

For the timely treatment and management of depression, a high level of depression literacy (DL) is needed. This study aimed to examine the level of DL and factors associated with DL among middle-aged Korean adults and to verify the relationship between DL, depression, and quality of life (QoL). This cross-sectional study included 485 participants aged 40 to 64 years recruited from five provinces in Korea. DL was measured using a 22-item questionnaire and analyzed by multiple linear regression and correlation analysis. The DL level of the participants was moderate and the correct answer rate was 58.6%. In particular, non-pharmacological treatments, differential symptoms, and pharmacological treatments were low. Out of the participants, 25.2% had depression, and the difference in DL between those with and without depression was not statistically significant. The positive factors associated with DL were being female, having higher education, and being employed. DL was not correlated with depression or psychological QoL. However, higher DL was associated with less heavy drinking, normal body mass index, and not smoking. Improving DL can help individuals seek timely professional help and reduce mental health disparities. Further studies should continue to investigate and develop the association between DL and health-related behaviors as well as depression and QoL to effectively treat and manage depression.

“…18,19 It is evident that depression could have adverse effects on interpersonal relationships, social, occupational, and sexual function of women; thus, it, according to research findings, could have serious consequences for 34% of postmenopausal women. 20,21 It is also presumed that personality traits could tremendously affect the severity of the menopausal symptoms. 22 Given that the relationship between personality traits and the severity of menopausal symptoms is somehow vague, several studies have already tried to explore and substantiate this relationship.…”

The aim of the present study was to explore the potential relationships between menopausal symptoms, sleep quality, hot flash, and depressive symptoms in postmenopausal women. A cross-sectional study was designed with 150 healthy postmenopausal women (45–60 years of age) who had referred to the menopausal clinic in Babol. The participants completed the following instruments throughout the study: the Beck Depression Inventory for depressive symptoms, the Modified Blatt-Kupperman Menopausal Index for measuring menopausal symptoms, and the NEO-FFI for identifying the personality traits. After controlling all the covariates, high depressive symptoms were found to be associated with moderate/sever menopausal symptoms, poor sleep quality, and the average and high level of neuroticism. The results also demonstrated that the risk of depressive symptoms was lower in menopausal women with high level extroversion, high level agreeableness, and the average and high level of conscientiousness. The findings of the present study indicated that personality traits, menopausal symptoms, and poor sleep quality in particular can partially account for depression in Iranian menopausal women. It is highly imperative that effective health education or implement appropriate strategies to improve the quality of life for these women.
