Menopause Reactions

Menopause Reactions

“Menopause can be seen as a new beginning:
it’s a good time to assess lifestyle, health and to make
a commitment to strive for continuing wellbeing…”.1

Timing

Is ‘me time’ important?

In What Is Menopause? Feeling Positive About the Menopause the Australasian Menopause Society explain:

Menopause Reactions“Women may experience physical and emotional changes during menopause but that doesn’t mean life has taken a turn for the worse! Many women are prompted at this time to ‘take stock’ of their lives and set new goals. The menopause occurs at a time when many women may be juggling roles as mothers of teenagers, as carers of elderly parents, and as members of the workforce. Experts suggest that creating some ‘me time’ is important to maintain life balance. Menopause can be seen as a new beginning: it’s a good time to assess lifestyle, health and to make a commitment to strive for continuing wellbeing in the mature years”.2

Mental Health Self Help

What is some mental health self help?

In How To Manage Menopausal Symptoms: Managing Mental and Emotional Health the (Australian) Jean Hailes for Women’s Health elaborate on:

“There are many ways to look after your mental health, from talking to someone you trust to developing healthy habits.

You can also:

  • Learn and practise techniques such as mindfulness and relaxation
  • Ask your doctor about MHT to help with menopausal symptoms
  • Ask your doctor for a referral to see a registered psychologist or psychiatrist”.3

Health Care Provider

What if I would like help with my reaction to menopause?

If you would like help with your reaction to menopause, it may be in your best interest to choose to talk to your health care provider about this. Together you can discuss your options and if required, agree on who may be the most appropriate health care provider to help you.
