OMT for Perimenopausal Depression

Studies have shown:

  • Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment provides clinically relevant outcomes as an adjunct therapy in decreasing symptoms of newly diagnosed in premenopausal women.

The termination of menstruation and fertility of women is known as menopause, and occurs 12 months after the last menstrual period, during their 40s or 50s. The transitional period from normal menstrual periods to menopause is the perimenopausal period and can be associated with this.

The exact cause of perimenopausal depression is not clear. Possible causes may include hormonal fluctuations, psychosocial stressors, and personality characteristics such as one’s perception of menopause and aging.

Symptoms of premenopausal depression include irritability, mood swings, tearfulness, extreme anxiety and despair, guilt, worthlessness, hopelessness, helplessness, lack of interest in previously pleasurable activities, poor concentration, decreased libido, and decreased energy.

Clinical depression is diagnosed based on the frequency and severity of symptoms, a thorough history, and physical exam. Blood and urine tests may be performed during the evaluation to rule out other causes of symptoms.
