This abstract encapsulates a groundbreaking study on the efficacy of Tibolone in mitigating depression among perimenopausal women. The study, a double-blind randomized controlled trial, illuminates the potential of Tibolone, a selective tissue estrogenic activity regulator (STEAR), in significantly improving depressive symptoms in women undergoing the menopause transition. This 12-week trial involved 44 women, comparing Tibolone against a placebo, with remarkable findings indicating substantial improvement in depression severity without significant side effects. The research underscores the need for alternative treatments for menopausal depression, moving beyond traditional antidepressants to hormone-based therapies. The findings from this study contribute to a deeper understanding of menopausal mental health and offer new avenues for treatment, aligning with the ongoing efforts in women's mental health advocacy to promote holistic and effective care for menopausal depression.
