Abstract
The menopausal transition is often accompanied by psycho-vegetative symptoms, including stress and anxiety symptoms. Identifying stress and anxiety and intervening early can have an enormous public health impact. Health care practitioners like obstetrician-gynecologists or family doctors play a critical role in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of stress and anxiety (disorders), as they often represent women’s primary medical contact during the menopausal transition. However, they frequently don’t feel confident in identifying and treating mental health problems. The aim of the presentation is to summarize current knowledge from RCT’s, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses on diagnostics and treatment options, and to provide clinical decision-making algorithms. The recent literature suggests pharmacological, (cognitive) behavioral, and complementary treatments. The decision about which one to use for a specific patient should be discussed together with the patient.
