Menopause is a normal process that symbolises the end of a woman’s fertile years. It is a crucial period as it brings about many endocrinal and physiological changes such as hot flashes, low libido, mood swings, day and night sweats, trouble in sleeping, joint and muscular aches and so on, that put women at a higher risk of psychological symptoms. Therefore, psychological wellbeing needs to be monitored and watched upon during this period. The present study was designed to study the relationship between menopausal symptoms and psychological wellbeing of menopausal women. The study comprised of 409 women aged between 45- to 55-years-old. The data was collected using Menopausal Rating Scale (Heinemann et al., 2003) and Psychological Wellbeing Scale (Sisodia and Choudhary, 2012). The results of the study revealed that the respondents of the study experienced moderate to severe menopausal symptoms and average to above average psychological wellbeing. The study also shows that menopausal symptoms were negatively correlated to psychological wellbeing. It can be concluded from the present study that as menopausal symptoms increase, the psychological wellbeing of women decreases.
