The Menopause Revolution: Women’s Mental Health at a Crossroads

Perimenopause and menopause are profound yet often overlooked transitions that can significantly impact mental health. Many women experience heightened anxiety, depression, and even suicidal ideation due to fluctuating hormones, sleep disturbances, and societal stigma surrounding aging. Despite affecting half the population, these challenges remain under-discussed (and under-funded) in both healthcare and mainstream conversations.

Oprah Winfrey’s new special, The Menopause Revolution, Halle Berry’s Re-Spin platform and The Magic of Menopause course, and Naomi Watts’ book, Dare I Say It, are changing the narrative by shedding light on this critical issue. Through candid discussions and expert insights, they empower women to navigate peri/menopause with knowledge, support, and dignity — breaking the silence on a topic that has been ignored for too long.
