Menopause and perimenopause: support for psychoemotional health

Menopause and perimenopause bring about not only physical but also significant emotional and psychological changes. Fluctuations and declines in estrogen levels directly affect mood, sleep, and cognitive functions. At our clinic, we provide specialized support aimed at restoring emotional balance during this stage of life.

Most common mental health symptoms

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms during perimenopause or menopause, we are here to help:

Mood swings

Sudden and unexplained irritability, sadness, or anger.

Anxiety and panic attacks

Increased levels of anxiety, difficulty relaxing, or a persistent sense of fear.

Depression

Persistent feelings of low mood or anhedonia (the loss of the ability to feel pleasure).

Sleep disturbances

Insomnia, difficulty falling asleep, or frequent waking (especially due to hot flashes).

Cognitive changes

“Brain fog,” difficulty concentrating, and impaired memory.

Increased sensitivity to stress

Psychoemotional support

Our clinic offers non-hormonal treatment options designed to overcome the mental health challenges caused by perimenopause and menopause:

Psychiatrist consultations

Our psychiatrists provide consultations on non-hormonal symptom management when psychological therapy alone is not enough:

Antidepressants: Can be effective in treating moderate to severe depression, anxiety, and panic attacks.
Sleep Regulation: Treatments aimed at managing insomnia, taking into account potential interactions with other medications.
Non-pharmacological symptom management.

Individual consultations with a psychologist/psychotherapist

Menopause is a major life transition involving changes in identity, self-esteem, and social roles.

Emotional Regulation: Helping to identify and transform negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and irritability.
Processing Grief and Loss: Addressing feelings of loss (such as loss of fertility or aging) and shifts in identity.
Relationships: Support in managing tension with a partner or family arising from mood swings or decreased libido.
Finding Purpose: Support in transitioning into a new stage of life and discovering new goals and meaning.

Group support and self-help groups

Connecting with other women going through similar changes can be a powerful source of emotional support.

Menopause/Perimenopause Self-Help Group: Sharing experiences in a safe, supportive environment to provide mutual encouragement and reduce feelings of isolation.
Focus on Specific Challenges: Addressing issues such as relationship changes, stress management, or self-esteem during menopause.
Professional Facilitation: Groups are led by an experienced psychologist, ensuring a constructive and confidential environment.
