Menopause and suicide: A systematic review

There is some evidence of an association between the menopausal transition and suicidality, particularly during perimenopause, though conclusions are limited by study design and heterogeneity. The review highlights the importance of integrating mental health support within menopause care and suggests further research to clarify the mechanisms underpinning suicide risk during the menopausal transition. Enhanced screening and supportive interventions may benefit menopausal women experiencing suicidality.
