MENOPAUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH OF WOMEN: IMPACT OF A YOGIC LIFESTYLE

SAUMYA CHOUDHARY, DR. PRAVEEN RANA

Abstract

Menopause, a natural biological process in women, marks the end of reproductive years and is often accompanied by a spectrum of physiological and psychological changes. Mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, irritability, and mood swings are commonly reported during this transitional phase. This article explores the relationship between menopause and women’s mental health and examines the therapeutic potential of a yogic lifestyle as a holistic intervention strategy. Evidence suggests that incorporating yoga, meditation, and yogic dietary and behavioural principles can significantly improve psychological resilience and emotional well-being during menopause.
