Psychological support

A diagnosis of POI has a significant negative impact on psychological well-being and quality of life.

Psychological support and interventions should be offered where possible, including signposting to the DAISY network which is an online nationwide support group for women with POI.

NICE says some people can be distressed by going through the menopause at an earlier age than expected. If someone is experiencing emotional distress to a level that raises concerns, they may need to be referred to specialist psychology services.
