Abstract

The author studied 71 women who had an affective disorder either before or after the menopause to determine if they were at greater risk for depression during the menopause than during other times of the life span. The difference was not significant: there was a 7.1 percent risk of developing an affective disorder during the menopause and a six percent risk during other times.
