Perimenopause & Mental Health: The Real Tea

Did you know perimenopause isn’t just about hot flashes? A huge UK study found women are more likely to experience their first-ever psychiatric disorders—like depression and mania—during the two years before and after their last period. Rates are actually higher than before or after this window! It’s not just mood swings; anxiety, insomnia, and even eating disorders spike too. Hormones, aging, and life stress all mix together here. Makes you rethink what’s really going on during ‘the change,’ right? #Perimenopause #MentalHealth #WomensHealth #Hormones #ScienceNews #Health
