About one of the forms of a reactive state in menopause

Abstract

68 women with various neuropsychiatric disorders in menopause were examined. A significant place among these disorders was occupied by reactive states, in which menopause itself was a psychogenic factor. A peculiar change in behavior was revealed in 12 women. It manifested itself as a reaction of the hysterical type in the form of "reality mystification" and was observed, on average, 1-2 months after the onset of menopausal disorders. The reaction of the personality to menopause as a significant phenomenon arose in the form of hysteroid behavior only in those women who, before the menopause, were inclined to hysterical forms of reaction that had not previously reached a significant degree of severity.
