The menopausal transition and women’s mental health: epidemiological evidence and emerging risk profiles

The menopause transition and women’s mental health: epidemiological evidence and emerging risk profiles

The menopausal transition and menopausal symptoms can impose a substantial mental health burden, and register-based and evidence synthesis studies conducted in Sweden aim to characterize psychiatric comorbidities and risk profiles during this period.

The talk explores the impact of the menopausal transition, triggered by declining reproductive hormone levels, on women’s mental health. Approximately 50% of the world’s population will experience menopause. While the transition has little impact on some women, there is growing recognition that menopausal symptoms can significantly affect health and working life, prompting calls in Sweden and other countries to improve healthcare for women with severe perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms. The presentation describes register-based, evidence synthesis, and population-based studies conducted within the HER MIND network at Karolinska Institutet and the WHOLE research center at Uppsala University. It also features two programs led by the speaker: the MEMPHIS project, which uses register data to examine psychiatric comorbidities among women receiving treatment for menopause and perimenopause in Sweden, and Meno2mind, a multistage evidence synthesis project investigating the extent to which the menopausal transition and menopausal hormone therapies are associated with the onset, exacerbation, or improvement of mental disorders and their treatment. The talk also introduces studies examining perimenopausal mental health phenotypes, risk factors for severe mental illness in women of menopausal age, and the effects of estradiol on brain health during perimenopause. It concludes by outlining how the findings could inform mental health interventions for women of menopausal age and identifying remaining evidence gaps and priorities for future research.
