Abstrakt

The peri – and postmenopausal period is one-third of the average woman’s life. Despite its physiological nature, it is usually associated with a number of ailments that consequently weaken a woman’s psychophysical condition. The emergence of disorders in the psychological and somatic spheres can make it more difficult among women to perform social, domestic and professional functions, including those falling under labour law. The appearance of symptoms of anxiety and depression is much more common among women than men, and the duration of the COVID-19 epidemic has exacerbated health problems, often causing new difficulties especially in the aspect of mental health of postmenopausal women, creating a new and urgent challenge for state bodies responsible for prevention programs to create a comprehensive pilot project in this area of public health.
