Return To Depression Article Archive   Perimenopause And Clinical Depression - Tips To Manage Depression During Perimenopause By Dr. Eswararamanan VR Perimenopausal women undergo a very specific condition which can aptly be termed as clinical depression. In women nearing menopause, there are rapid changes in the hormones produced within the body that generally upsets the routine that the body had been following for the preceding years. The body of the woman cannot take in such a change and this leads to several conditions that were not present before. Clinical depression is one of them. Though this is something that happens to every female who undergoes this phase, nevertheless, this change must be made note of seriously. A failure to do so may at times lead to fatal consequences. But, on the other hand, one must also know that there is nothing got be overtly worried about. It is normal, and it happens to everyone. And most importantly, it passes away, when the phase does, just like all the other changes that took place. It is important to understand what happens within the body at this stage in life. First, the body has always been producing hormones. In the perimenopausal stage, the body gets into an adjustment mode. Here, the hormones produced are adjusted according to what the body would now need. Therefore, it is this that leaves one sad and depressed during this phase. But it must be understood that such a depression is being induced not be any mental or psychological changes but by physical and chemical reactions within the body. It is difficult to get over such a depression as easily as many say it is. While many women can handle such a phase of life with perfect ease and tact, many would need professional medical help. Consulting a doctor can be a very good idea a he or she can tell one exactly how to overcome such a condition. For some just the subscription of an anti depressant may suffice, for others, a special change will have to be made in the estrogen and progesterone levels within the body to correct such a condition. Again, as sated above, not all women may need such a kind of treatment. There are different levels of depression. Some may not be called depressions at all. This is because different bodies adjust to the changes that occur within in different ways. Those that have greater adaptability suffer less depression. The condition becomes clinical only when the doctor feels external treatments like anti depressants and hormone replacement therapies are required.
