Only 10% of Menopausal Women are being Treated! | Dr. Mary Claire Haver

85% of women will go and talk to their doctor and mention the cliche symptoms of menopause, right? Only 10% right now is the offered treatment and it's usually an antidepressant. Oh, not HRT. Not HRT. Only 4-6% of women are on HRT right now. Interesting.

Who are menopausal. What happens when you give a woman experiencing menopause.

An antidepressant? So, well, if she's really depressed, sometimes her depression gets better. But again, everything has side effects, including HRT. So I don't want to like make like, you know, but her libido goes down, she can gain weight. It depends on the specific SSRI or SNRI. So there are side effects that can be pretty debilitating. But a woman is like four times more likely to be given an SSRI right now for the treatment of her menopause than hormone therapy, which is the gold standard.
