CNN (4/30, Rogers ) reports that researchers have “quantified the risk of depression during the transition” to menopause, “known as perimenopause – showing that women in this stage are about 40% more likely to experience the mental health condition than premenopausal women.” The investigators came to this conclusion after analyzing data from “seven studies totaling 9,141 women.” The findings were published in the Journal of Affective Disorders.
