Participants sought: Anxiety in perimenopausal women - what factors increase it?

Women have double the risk of developing mood disturbances compared to men and perimenopause is the time of greatest vulnerability of developing mood disturbances such as anxiety. The aim of this study is to investigate factors that increase the risk of anxiety during perimenopause. If you are interested in taking part in this study for either the mood disturbance or control group, please contact Cindy Zahrany: cgzah1@student.monash.edu or Emmy Gavrilidis: 9076 6913 or emmy.gavrilidis@monash.edu
