Psychological symptoms of the #menopause

Many women are aware that the menopause can cause hot flushes and sweats, which may be mild or severe and can last for a short time, or for many years. Although hot flushes (known as flashes in the USA) are the most well recognised symptom of the menopause, there is still much to learn about their actual cause and why they affect women so differently. There is even more to learn about the psychological symptoms of the menopause, which are often unrecognised with little awareness of their association with the menopause.
