I believe that sometimes menopause gets the bad rap for a whole host of changes/symptoms/signs that occur at midlife, when in fact it isn't really menopause that's the culprit, but the life changes that come with midlife and aging.
I wonder how many women have blamed their depression and/or moodiness on menopause when in fact, their children are leaving the nest empty and lonely, or their children are having physical, emotional or behaviour problems, their spouses are having a nervous breakdown and/or their aging parents are- to no fault of their own-putting immense pressure on them. These events are enough to make anyone miserable! Add falling and surging hormones to the mix and you have one nasty cocktail. But there is good news: most women report their postmenopausal years as their happiest and most fulfilled.
