[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]

depression can be severe mental illness.  Depression exists on a spectrum from mild to severe. My MILL had multiple episodes of depression, some so severe that she was practically catatonic and could bot do the simplest things for herself like washing, feeding and toileting.  She had ECT, and this brought her out of the catatonia.

For other people depression can lead to suicide.  That’s pretty “severe”, don’t you think. [/quote]
