What are the first symptoms of psychosis? Is there a link between psychosis and menopause?

Psychoneurological symptoms in menopausal syndrome are a temporary dysfunction of the nervous system that is completely different from psychosis. Psychoneurological symptoms are caused by ovarian atrophy, decreased estrogen levels, and are influenced by a combination of psychological and socio-environmental factors. The anxiety psychological reaction in the main psychological changes is essentially fear in disguise; The pessimistic psychological reaction, on the other hand, is mainly pessimism about the development of symptoms.

These symptoms can be significantly improved after psychological induction and estrogen replacement**, and the symptoms can gradually disappear after menopause. The occurrence of organic psychosis often has a family history and is reversed, and is not related to estrogen levels. In addition to emotional abnormalities, the occurrence of this type of disease often appears in the coherence and logic of thinking abnormalities and even delusions, there are perceptual disorders, that is, delusions and hallucinations, disorientation disorders, that is, impairments in the ability to recognize time, place and people, as well as the loss of memory, calculation, judgment, common sense and other aspects of function, which are generally not difficult to distinguish.

Sometimes, individual women have severe symptoms and it is difficult to distinguish them for a while, and they can be diagnosed by a psychiatrist. These two conditions are different diseases, so menopausal neuropsychiatric symptoms are different from psychosis and do not turn into psychosis.

The manifestations of menopausal mental disorders are diverse, and they can be summarized as menopausal depression characterized by anxiety and depression and menopausal paranoid states dominated by paranoid delusions. In addition, patients with menopausal syndrome also have personality changes and autonomic dysfunction, such as dizziness, headache, palpitations, tinnitus, dizziness, insomnia, etc.

Menopausal depression: is the most common clinical symptom of menopausal mental disorders. Patients often show loneliness, sadness, slow response to changes in their surroundings or environment, sometimes crying secretly, tears, feeling that life is meaningless, severe often feeling hopeless, and even suicidal thoughts.

In addition, it is often accompanied by memory loss, insomnia, early awakening, poor concentration, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and poor appetite.

Such patients are usually introverted and tend to be very concerned about their diseases. Husbands and wives generally have a good relationship, a high level of education, and most of them are engaged in intellectual work. The prognosis is generally good with appropriate **.

Menopausal paranoia: its manifestations are mainly delusions such as jealousy, victimization, self-guilt, hypochondriasis, etc., the delusions are not systematic, but they are relatively fixed, simple in structure, not absurd in content, and closer to reality. The object of delusion is mostly the people around them, and it is generally not generalized.

In addition to delusions, it is often accompanied by psychological disorders such as depression, agitation, and anxiety, and sometimes hallucinations, mainly auditory hallucinations. The patient's personality is usually intact and does not deteriorate despite the prolonged course of the disease. With the exception of delusions, other thinking disorders are not obvious.

The disease has a long course and a relatively poor prognosis, and the disease often fluctuates according to environmental influences.

Personality disorder: Generally speaking, it refers to the patient's personality and behavior that are similar to the previous "she", changing the past gentleness, virtuousness, cheerfulness, generosity, empathy, etc., and becoming suspicious, selfish, nagging, irritable, unkind, unprovoked, upset, aggressive, etc.

Personality disorders can be secondary to a long-term paranoid state, or they can be the main manifestation or symptomatic feature of the disorder itself. Menopausal personality disorder and menopausal syndrome have personality changes in mind, although they share some clinical features, but the nature of the disorders is very different. The former belongs to the category of severe mental illness, with a long course of illness and a poor prognosis; The latter is a transient emotional response with a short course of illness and a good prognosis.

It is considered that it may be a mood abnormality caused by the influence of menopausal endocrine disorders, which is mostly manifested as irritability, emotional instability, insomnia and hot flashes.
