In the years leading up to menopause, a person may experience a variety of symptoms, including emotional changes such as depression.

Now, a new study has assessed the risk of depression during the transition, known as perimenopause - showing that women in this stage are around 40% more likely to experience the mental health condition than women before menopause.

"Our findings show how significantly the mental health of menopausal women can suffer during this time," said Dr. Aimee Spector, corresponding author of the study published Tuesday in the Journal of Affective Disorders, in a press release, writes CNN. 

"We need more awareness and support to make sure they get the right help and care both medically, in the workplace and at home," said Aimee Spector, corresponding author of the study. published Tuesday in the Journal of Affective Disorders. 

Perimenopause usually occurs about three to five years before menopause.

The transition phase is a natural process that is triggered when the ovaries gradually stop working, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. 

During this time, estrogen and progesterone levels can fluctuate, leading to mood swings, irregular menstrual cycles and other symptoms such as depression./CNA
