Mental Health Status Among Perimenopausal Women in Urban Slums: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background Menstruation is linked to psychological issues, particularly during its cessation. The premenopausal, perimenopausal, and postmenopausal stages of a woman's life are associated with a higher likelihood of mental health concerns. This study aims to assess the prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as identify factors associated with these conditions among perimenopausal women living in urban slums.
