A study suggests that mindfulness, group, and cognitive therapy can help with menopausesymptoms like sadness and worry. The University College London study looked at 30 studies with 3,500 women in 14 countries, including the UK, US, and Australia. The research suggests that these therapies could be given instead of or with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). HRT uses hormones like oestrogen to treat symptoms. The study shows that therapies focusing on behavior and relaxation techniques could be more beneficial than HRT, especially cognitive therapy, which is cost-effective and shows results quickly. Some women experienced improvements in anxiety and depression, better sleep and concentration, and improved quality of life through these therapies.
