New Survey from ThisIsMenopause Reports That For 82% of Women, Stress and Burnout Were the First Answer, Not PerimenopauseMost women spend months, sometimes years, unsure about what they’re experiencing before they ever mention perimenopause to a doctor. A new survey from ThisIsMenopause of 1,000 U.S. women ages 35 to 59 finds that 82% initially attributed their first perimenopause symptoms to something else entirely, most often anxiety, burnout, or everyday stress. Only 14% recognized right away that they were experiencing perimenopause symptoms and 16% took longer than a year, some more than two.
