[HIGHLIGHTS] Are women really at greater risk of depression at menopause?

Are women really at greater risk of depression at menopause?. It is a common cliché that the fifty-year-old is depressed by the great hormonal upheaval, but the reality is quite different.

This is the rather reassuring conclusion of an analysis of studies on the subject carried out by a group of international gynecologists and published in the medical journal The Lancet. If you have never suffered from major depression before, it is very unlikely that you will have a first episode of clinical depression during theMenopause transition.
