Psychological aspects of menopause.
There are no psychological symptoms specific to menopause, though minor psychological complaints such as irritability may increase in women aged 45 to 55. These symptoms seem to be related to psychosocial stress, social class, or cultural group rather than to hormone imbalance alone. Management requires careful assessment of the medical as well as the psychosocial situation.
