Speaking of This morning as part of their menopause campaign, she explained: “I started probably in my early 50s. I didn’t have night sweats or anything like that. I started to feel anxious, I’ve never felt anxious in my life, I run companies, I do all sorts of thingsand I began to worry even about what pants I would wear, whether I would drink tea or coffee, and it turned into a deep depression.

“I mean deep depression, I felt suicidal at times, for many months. But I was writing down when my period started in my electronic calendar and that helped me analyze it. I started the specially formulated HRT and within 48 hours, literally two days, I felt back to normal and have never had any symptoms since.”
Carol talked about her experience
Speaking to HELLO!, an ambassador for women’s health charity Wellbeing of Women, she added: ‘There was one particular year, 2015, when I started getting anxious and then a deep depression took over for four months. Nothing went wrong in my life at all. I love my life, I love life, so I couldn’t figure out what it was. Eventually I found out it was related to the menstrual cycle.

“I’m shocked to be honest that approximately one million women have given up work because of these feelings they have in the workplace, have either reduced their work hours or turned down a promotion at a time in their late 40s and 50s when they should have reached the peak of their careers. It has to stop.”
