Stress management is another pillar of a healthy lifestyle. Practicing good sleep hygiene can help you feel more rested and able to deal with emotional challenges. Other stress management tools can include things like yoga, meditation, massages and doing activities you enjoy.
Medication can treat stressful menopause symptoms or help regulate mood
A variety of prescription medications can reduce menopause symptoms. For example, systemic hormone therapy can improve symptoms like night sweats and hot flashes, which may help you feel better overall, improve your sleep and reduce stress. However, hormone therapy does not always improve mood symptoms. If you’re mainly seeking treatment for mood symptoms, your doctor may recommend antidepressant or antianxiety medication. Certain antidepressants, known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can also reduce hot flashes.
