Premenopause is a transitional period experienced by women when they are about to enter menopause. At this stage, a woman will experience a decrease in the hormone estrogen, giving rise to premenopausal syndrome. Common symptoms of premenopausal women due to changes in body systems manifest in complaints in the form of hair loss easily, irritability or sensitivity, insomnia, frequent sweating, and decreased sex drive. These changes and symptoms occur around 2-3 years before menopause. The prevalence of depression and anxiety in women will increase when entering the premenopausal and postmenopausal phases. A study in China described depressive symptoms experienced by women increasing from 14.5% (premenopausal) to 19.6% in the postmenopausal period.
