@dyslexia,
Menopause typically but not always occurs in women in midlife, during their age of 40s or early 50s, and it gives the signals that its the end of the fertile phase of a woman’s life...
Another common thing after going through menopause is that the mood swings and this is caused due to hormonal changes during your "change of life."
Some women can also feel like they become a different person because of their mood swings and stops interacting with their friends and family members because they think that they are becoming irritating.
They may not be able to control their emotions... Menopausal women can be irritable , snappish, and have crying spells for no reason.
