Mental Health And The Menopausal Woman

Lifestyle Changes

Lifestyle changes for natural relief for a patient dealing with menopause, mental health issues, or both at the same time include getting adequate sleep and establishing a regular bedtime routine, getting more active and regularly exercising, trying relaxation and stress-reducing activities such as yoga, tai chi, meditation, or a massage. Other changes include quitting smoking and drinking alcohol. Some women even choose to take multivitamins formulated for women undergoing menopause or other supplemental vitamins and minerals to help mitigate their symptoms.

Of course, women should always get in contact with their doctor to ensure any drastic lifestyle changes or treatments they wish to undergo are the appropriate options for them. Remember ladies, you are not your menopause, and your menopause is not you. The physical and mental symptoms you are experiencing will get better with time!
