Here we go again!  I can't be bothered to search the 'studies' ..........

Mindfulness, group and cognitive behavioural therapy could effectively treat menopause symptoms such as low mood and anxiety, analysis suggests.
The University College London research, published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, examined 30 studies involving 3,500 women in 14 countries, including the UK, the US and Australia.

Draft NHS guidelines recommend offering CBT alongside or instead of HRT.

It could "give GPs and patients more options", the researchers said.

HRT replaces the hormones oestrogen or progestogen or both.

It is administered using gels, creams, pessaries, tablets or sprays.

CBT didn’t help me unfortunately.

Even if it helps some, getting any type of therapy such as CBT on NHS is going to be a long wait.
