Hot flashes, vaginal dryness, disturbances in hormone levels - feeling like you’re in an unavoidable state of PMS - EVERY SINGLE DAY!
For most menstruators, changes like these and drastic symptoms are a common part of menopause. Menopause and mental health, however, are intersections that are rarely given importance, largely for two reasons.
One, the long-drawn stigma against any conversation regarding a woman’s reproductive health and two, because menopause is regarded as something that brings physical changes in a woman’s body but is barely ever associated with the psychological changes a person goes through during this period. In this video, let’s look at the impact of menopause on menstruators’ mental health!
We would like to thank mental health professional Dr.Priya Mohan (MBBS, Research Team, Cranberry.Fit) for her sharing her insights in the video.
