A study into the causes and symptoms of post-
menopausal depression in women. The writer chose the subject because although
it is almost an "accepted fact" that post-
menopausal women will suffer from
depression, there seems to be little evidence to support the fact. The paper is broken up into a list of reviews of articles on the subject: Nicol-Smith's "Causality, Menopause and Depression: A Critical Review of the Literature" Elias's "Mind and Menopause", McKeon's "Cruel Myths and Clinical Facts About Menopause", Goldman's "Menopause Alone Won't Induce New-onset Depression", Hunter's "Depression and the Menopause" King's "The Meno-pause That Refreshes", Thomas' "Life Stressors, Not Hormonal Changes" and "Menopause "Emotions" More Precisely Defined"
