Abstract: The climacteric is a natural phase in a woman's life that marks the transition between the reproductive and non-reproductive periods.In view of this, the aim of this work is to develop a study on the main impacts of the hormonal changes of the climacteric on women's mental health.The methodology applied is based on a literature review, in which health databases were used that contributed to the development of the research.The results show that the studies analyzed in this review demonstrate that there is a complex interrelationship between the hormonal, psychological and social aspects experienced by women during this phase.The impact of hormonal changes on mental health cannot be overlooked, as it compromises quality of life and emotional well-being.In conclusion, it is essential that health professionals, especially gynecologists, endocrinologists and psychiatrists, are aware of the need for multidisciplinary approaches to properly manage these symptoms.Treatment can include hormone therapy, psychological interventions and lifestyle changes, with the aim of minimizing the negative impacts of the climacteric on women's mental health.
