Understanding and managing the mental health dimensions of menopause is crucial for maintaining overall well-being. Menopause can lead to symptoms like anxiety, irritability, mood swings, and difficulty concentrating. Long-term hormonal changes can contribute to more serious health issues, such as depression, anxiety disorders, and cognitive decline. Techniques like regular exercise, mindfulness practices, and seeking social support can help mitigate these effects, enhancing overall quality of life during this transitional period.

Not sure where to start?
Try a self-assessment.
Our self-assessment is based on the Menopause Rating Scale, a widely used and accepted tool developed to measure the presence and severity of psychological and other menopausal symptoms. Use of the assessment is anonymous. Our online assessment includes guidance regarding scoring as well as suggested follow-up based on the outcome of the assessment.
Always keep in mind that there are a variety of factors that can influence the reliability of the assessment, that your individual scores may vary over time, and, above all, that it is an assessment rather than a diagnostic tool. As such, this and similar self-guided assessments are not substitutes for professional guidance and should never be considered definitive.
