Our understanding of menopause has come a long way in the last decade, with celebrities (including Davina McCall, Patsy Kensit and Gwyneth Paltrow) all speaking candidly about their own experiences. But awareness can only do so much and for those entering perimenopause or experiencing menopause symptoms, changes to one’s health can be alarming or difficult to deal with.
A recent study commissioned by Kalms showed that 83 per cent of menopausal women reported experiencing stress and anxiety in the past year, with a quarter admitting to suffering from these feelings daily. Six in 10 find it difficult to manage feelings of worry or fear and more than a third have avoided new roles or promotions at work due to anxiety.
