A sample of 114 women from the general population aged 40-55 years were identified as possible psychiatric cases and subjected to a standardised psychiatric interview. Mean ratings for reported symptoms and observed abnormalities were assessed in relation to menopausal status. There was no evidence of any specific combination of symptoms and signs associated with the cessation of menstrual periods, though after the menopause insomnia and hypochondriacal preoccupations were more common. In comparison with matched normal controls have been previous psychiatric illness, and contact with general practitioners was more frequent. Many women developing psychiatric symptoms at the time of the menopause appear to belong to a vulnerable population who are likely to develop symptoms in relation to stress.
从普通人群中选取了114名年龄在40至55岁之间的女性，她们被确定为可能患有精神疾病，并接受了标准化的精神病学访谈。根据绝经状态评估了报告症状和观察到的异常的平均评分。没有证据表明存在与绝经相关的任何特定症状和体征组合，不过绝经后失眠和疑病观念更为常见。与匹配的正常对照组相比，她们既往有精神疾病史，且与全科医生的接触更为频繁。许多在绝经时出现精神症状的女性似乎属于易受伤害人群，她们可能会因压力而出现症状。
