Oh my -- no!: Women go through menopause all the time without feeling or thinking of suicide. However, depression frequently brings such thoughts, and depression may intensify during menopause. Please see your doctor now about this. You can also go directly to an emergency room, call 911, or call the help line: 1-800-273-talk (8255). Depression can be treated, and you can live your life beyond this.
