Interdisciplinary scientific research is an unjustly neglected discipline in the investigation of etiology and therapeutic potential regarding the symptoms of pre-, peri- and postmenopause. Thus the aim of this paper is: 1) the description of psychological disturbances occurring before, during and after menopause, 2) a representation of the etiological interaction between endocrinological, vegetative, psychodynamic and psychosocial factors of influence, and 3) to summarize the possible psychiatric and psychotherapeutic measures which can be taken.
