We know everyone’s experience of menopause is different. While the conversation around perimenopause and its challenges is more open than ever, knowledge gaps remain - especially around the impact of menopause on our mental health.
A new YouGov poll, commissioned by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, has found that only one in five (21%) of UK adults know that new mental illnesses can be associated with menopause. This is in stark contrast to the 81% of respondents who associated it with hot flushes, the 74% who linked menopause with mood changes, and the 64% of people who associated menopause with a reduced sex drive.
