Anxiety

Anxiety is a common symptom during menopause, affecting many women due to hormonal fluctuations. The decline in estrogen can impact neurotransmitter levels in the brain, contributing to mood swings and increased anxiety. Women may experience heightened stress, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating. These feelings can be exacerbated by other menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and sleep disturbances. Managing anxiety during menopause can involve lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, healthy eating, mindfulness practices to help balance mind and body.
