Hello,
Thanks for asking a question at HCM
I will be glad to answer it for you
You are rigth! Menopause can cause hormonal changes and thus cause mood swings and depressive episodes.
If loss of interest on surroundings is only issue, don't worry about it, talk to her, and counsel her with the help of Psychotherapist
But, if she has other problems like bone pains, depression, consult a doctor to ask about Harmone replacement therapy.
Hope this helps
Best Regards
Dr Chaithanya
