Depression is it a factor of early menopause? This suggests that the results of a U.S. study conducted at Harvard University (Massachusetts).
Researchers wanted to know if depression, especially when it lasts several years, could alter the onset of menopause. They then followed 976 women? Gees from 36 to 45 years of whom 332 were suffering from severe depression. For 3 years they have assessed their hormone levels and their sympt? My depression.
The results show that women who experienced depression were 20% more signs of perimenopause than women who had never been depressed.
Among women who had the most severe depression, the risk of early menopause increases further to reach 50%. And among the depressed women, those who took antidepressants were then 70% more likely than healthy women to be early menopause.
The study author, Dr. Bernard Harlow said that depression could affect the secretion of hormones.
