Depression can emerge in elderly women even after they have stopped menstruating, but many remain unaware of the root cause and do not seek help.
KLANG: Depression , linked to menopause or hormonal imbalance, can emerge in elderly women even after a decade or more after they have stopped menstruating.
“Because of this, the root cause of the source of depression, which is the after-effects of menopause, is sidetracked. “For some women, there may be a genetic link as their mothers, siblings and aunts could have gone through the same symptoms and emotional trauma even long after menopause,’’ said Dr Andrew.
“So please seek treatment or intervention by speaking to someone when you are a senior woman who has started feeling depressed or has been depressed since you went into menopause, even if it was years and years ago,’’ added Dr Andrew. He added women experience various symptoms pre and post-menopause due to the decrease and eventual depletion of estrogen in their system.
