Menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, depression and anxiety significantly affect the thinking skills of middle-aged women with HIV, according to a study in Menopause.
Past studies have shown that symptoms of menopause affect mental health more than the reproductive stage itself. Further, menopausal women with HIV experience more severe symptoms of menopause compared with uninfected women.
Pauline M. Maki, PhD, of the University of Illinois at Chicago, and colleagues analyzed data from the Women's Interagency HIV Study, which included 278 menopausal women and 708 menopausal women with HIV.
Researchers found that mental processing and verbal memory were associated with depression, anxiety, and hot flashes rather than the stage of menopause in both groups of women. Hot flashes were significantly related to lower mental processing speed. Decreased verbal memory, processing speed, and executive functions like planning and organizing were associated with depression. Anxiety had the most significant effect on thinking skills, especially among women with HIV. Their verbal learning skills were most affected by anxiety.
"Unfortunately, HIV infection is associated with modest deficits in multiple domains of cognitive function, even in women who regularly take their HIV medications. These depression and anxiety symptoms add to those cognitive vulnerabilities, but can be treated," Maki said in a press release.

ReplyDeleteAm Taisia from USA. After being in relationship for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the Dr CAFAi, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by reffering him or her to the only real and powerful Dr CAFAi who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email cafaispiritualtemple@yahoo.com) you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything.
