[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is it that these people are able with severe mental ill Ed’s are able to hold it together until well after launching a career, marriage, kids, etc. Isn’t the onset of most mental illness in young adulthood? Or perhaps after so many years masked and untreated, it explodes in the 30s-40s?[/quote]

Mental illness of XW occurred when she was 45. Not uncommon as a result of perimenopause.[/quote]

This makes no sense at all. Menopause does not cause mental illness. [/quote]

Perimenopause can absolutely trigger severe depression and other symptoms.  [/quote]

Ok, so then peri can cause depression -- not "severe mental illness." Severe mental illness is bipolar and schizophrenia. Quit it with the hyperbole. [/quote]

It's not hyperbole. Perimenopause / menopause can absolutely trigger schizophrenia.

This story could have been written about my XW. What happened to "Janet" was exactly what happened to her - but unlike Janet, XW did not (and still does not) believe she has a serious mental illness.[/quote]
