Abstract
Menopause is a process of hormonal changes that typically starts in a woman's mid- to late 40s and is associated with an increased risk of depression. However, whether the association is truly causal or purely correlational has been disputed for decades. In this column, I review the evidence on the associations between menopause and depression symptoms and diagnoses, the controversy, and the implications for research and practice. I conclude with information from professional organizations, but there are noted gaps in mental health resources for menopause.
