Menopause distress: A person centered definition.
We propose the use of the term 'menopause distress,' and share a conceptual definition. Menopause distress is defined as an emotional response characterised by significant, persistent apprehension, discomfort or dejection, due to a perceived inability to cope with the biomedical and psychosocial demands and challenges of living with menopause. This review discusses menopause distress, its definition, etiology, clinical features, and management. It calls for differentiation of menopause distress from other psychiatric conditions such as major depressive disorders and anxiety neurosis.
