Throughout the menopause transition, the risk of depression, anxiety, cognitive functioning concerns and other mental health issues can rise significantly.

Many people experience new mental health symptoms, while others with pre-existing mental illness may find that symptoms intensify.

Learn how hormonal changes during menopause can impact mental health.

💙 Mental health and cognitive changes:

This week’s Senior's Independence Place (S.I.P) session featured one participant, and it turned into an enjoyable and productive session — complete with a smiling selfie.

We covered how to spot spam calls and where to find your phone’s spam folder when you need to verify a call. In addition, we discussed two‑step authentication, focusing on how to manage it and why it’s essential for protecting your personal information.
