During perimenopausal and menopausal periods the prevalence of mood disorders is known to increase. Mental health services, therefore, have to be an integral part of the medical care for women in affected age groups.

We, therefore, have attempted to establish a network of mental health professionals who we are comfortable with. Once again, this does not represent an exclusionary network and we, indeed, encourage mental health care providers to contact us if they are interested in being included. All this means is that the professionals listed on our website (menopauseresearchinstitute.com) are known to us, and have expressed special interest and knowledge in working with women during their various menopausal phases.
