Summary
Whilst menopause affects roughly half the population, there is still much to be understood about the impact on individuals, in particular on their mental health.
Amber Sargent and Helen Jones, Senior Safety Investigators at the Health Services Safety Investigations Body (HSSIB), blog about the patient safety issues that arise when the impact of menopause on mental health is not considered during clinical assessments.
In this blog, they explore:
- why serious mental health disorders develop around menopause
- the impact of limited research into this important area
- the role of raising awareness.
