ABSTRACT

In a significant report released on June 17, 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) determined that approximately one out of every eight individuals globally grapples with a mental health condition. Among nations, India harbors one of the largest populations affected by mental health disorders. It is crucial to acknowledge the disparity in how our society addresses mental health. Due to insufficient awareness about mental health issues, the stigma surrounding them, a scarcity of proficient professionals, inadequate funding, and minimal priority in government budgets, numerous individuals with mental health disorders do not receive adequate treatment. This article aims to acknowledge the obstacles confronted by the healthcare sector in managing, preventing, and promoting mental health and illness. Additionally, it explores the pivotal role that nurses can play in delivering mental health services.

Key words: Counseling, Climacteric Symptoms, Menopausal, Women.
