| How it works | Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for mood helps women identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and emotional distress during the menopause transition. It combines cognitive restructuring (challenging negative automatic thoughts), behavioral activation (re-engaging in rewarding activities), stress management skills, and psychoeducation about menopause. Unlike medication, it does not alter hormones or neurotransmitters directly. | — |
