Talking therapies may help menopause mood – study

A recent study has suggested that talking therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and counseling may help improve mood and symptoms during menopause.

The study, published in the Journal of Menopause Medicine, found that women who participated in talking therapies reported a decrease in symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and irritability commonly associated with menopause.

Researchers believe that these therapies can provide women with coping mechanisms and emotional support during this transitional phase of life.

While hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is often used to manage menopausal symptoms, talking therapies offer an alternative or complementary approach that may be beneficial for some women.

Further research is needed to fully understand the effectiveness of talking therapies in managing menopause symptoms, but these findings suggest that they may be a valuable tool for women experiencing mood changes during this stage of life.
