How it worksCBT for Mood

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for mood focuses on thoughts, which are assumed to shape emotions and behavior, and uses techniques to change unhelpful thinking linked to depression, anxiety, and emotional distress during the menopause transition. Programs studied in menopausal women combined psychoeducation, relaxation exercises, and cognitive and behavioral strategies for coping with symptoms. It does not involve medication.
