Menopause brings about different symptoms, and two or more these signs usually intertwine to create an altogether new symptom. It is difficult to categorize these changes, emotions, and pains for one who is undergoing menopause itself. Doctors have so far created a list to assist women suffering from these painful, distressing, and confusing menopause symptoms.

1. Mood Swings
A person with a mood problem is literally like a roller coaster, happy one minute, and crying the next. Women undergoing menopause, and suffering from mood swings should take psychological problem as seriously as a physical ailment. And similar to physical problems, it can be cured and treated, given the right information to your doctor.

2. Depression
Depression is commonly mistaken as simple sadness, which is normal. It is an appropriate response to certain environments and circumstances that surround a person. However, when these feelings persist for a long period of time, and already impair and affect your daily routine, it is already considered as a depressive disorder. The severity, duration, and presence of other symptoms are what confirm this disorder. Depression may be suffered by any person, but is also a major symptom of menopause.

3. Anxiety
This is an example of several physical and psychological states that contribute to one greater one. Anxiety can be a vague, or intense feeling of agitation. It is sometimes associated with panic attacks, rapid heart beat or palpitations and shortness of breath. This disorder may possibly progress into depression if not treated earlier.

4. Irritability
Similar to depression, irritability is a normal state if it occurs in short periods of time, and is associated with the proper triggers. Illness of irritability means being irritated without any known reason, and the state persisting for more than a week, and affecting minor life factors such as job, relationships, and family.

5. Panic Disorder
An emotional state characterized by overwhelming fear and anxiety is a panic disorder. This is one of the more intense menopause symptoms, and is caused by physical or psychological conditions. The frequency of this cannot be measured, possibly a one time event or recurring episode, and should be consulted to the doctor.
