Depression is common among perimenopausal women due to hormonal fluctuations, psychosocial stressors, and emotional vulnerability during the menopausal transition. This phase is often associated with vasomotor symptoms, menstrual irregularities, sleep disturbances, and mood changes that significantly affect quality of life. Homoeopathy, with its holistic and individualized approach, offers a gentle and effective mode of treatment, especially through the use of 50 Millesimal (LM) potencies. Diagnosis of depression was done using the DSM 5 criteria and assessment of severity before and after was assessed using Hamilton depression rating scale.
