It is well-known that women during menopause often experience melancholy, indifference toward life and difficulty concentrating. These emotional disturbances are caused by reduced estrogen levels, in tandem with which the levels of serotonin, the happy hormone, fall as well.
Serotonin has effects on important psychological and physiological functions: mood, libido, cognitive abilities and memory, capacity for work, sleep patterns and appetite. When menopausal symptoms begin, it can be very disabling, so it’s important for these women to be able to get their lives back.
