From menarche to menopause: Exploring the underlying biology of depression in women experiencing hormonal changes
Abstract
Epidemiologic data consistently report an elevated prevalence of major depressive disorder (MDD) in women. This increase begins during adolescence and continues through the menopausal transition. Population-based clinical studies report an increase in the incidence of MDD during perimenopause compared to either the premenopausal or postmenopausal period. Evidence suggests that fluctuations and decline of hormonal levels are correlated with this observed increase in risk for MDD. A strong predictor of depression in the perimenopausal period is a previous history of MDD. However, recent studies revealed an increased risk of new onset depression in perimenopausal women without a history of MDD. Additionally, recent reports have indicated that the presence of vasomotor symptoms may be associated with an increased the risk for MDD. The objective of this paper is to review evidence that would support our hypothesis that neurotransmitter systems are affected by changes in hormonal status over the course of a woman's life, leading to increase vulnerability to perimenopausal depression. Relevant data from nonclinical experiments will be discussed in the context of observed clinical evidence of the risk for MDD before, during, and after the menopausal transition. A testable hypothesis will be proposed to advance our understanding of hormonal effects on mood.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
