Psychoemotional disorders in postmenopausal women and methods of their correction

Abstract

Psycho-emotional disorders in postmenopausal women are caused by interaction of neuroendocrine changes, psychological and social factors. They include anxiety, depression, dissomnia,psychosexual and cognitive dysfunction. Hormonal replacement therapy is widely used in correction of psycho-emotional disturbances in postmenopausal women. Combination of estrogens and antidepressants appears to have good prospects.
