Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Telling her about a local menopause support group can be helpful as it provides her with a safe space to share her experiences with others who are going through the same thing. It can also provide her with information on coping mechanisms, as well as access to resources and support from others. Reassuring her that menopause is temporary may be helpful, but it does not provide her with any specific tools or resources to cope with her struggles. Educating her on antidepressants may be premature or inappropriate without further assessment and discussion with a healthcare provider. Asking her about her mother's experience may not be helpful as every woman's experience with menopause is different.
