A member asked:
Can menopause worsen anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Anxiety might be sub-clinical, that is it might be there but not causing any significant problems. The hormonal swings associated with menopause may cause anxiety to rear its head higher and cause problems. A consult with your md is advisable. Good luck!
