ABSTRACT:

Keywords: Menopause, perimenopause, depression, healthy lifestyle, balanced diet, exercise.

Depression is a significant issue during the transition to menopause. During perimenopause, many women suffer depression. The methods of treatment suggested are often medications and a healthy lifestyle. The purpose of this research is to determine how a healthy lifestyle, such as a balanced diet and regular exercise, relieves or eliminates the symptoms of depression during perimenopause in women and improves their quality of life. A literature review was performed to retrieve the latest information relating to the impact of a healthy lifestyle on symptoms of depression in menopausal women. The present study illustrated that a healthy lifestyle is effective in relieving or eliminating the symptoms of depression in women undergoing menopause. Because of these findings, health care professionals can educate patients to maintain a healthy lifestyle during perimenopause.
