Is menopause seen as a form of mental illness by medical doctors?

Since when did the medical field get the bright idea that the same medication used to treat mental illness is good to treat women who are in menopause? Prozac for Hot Flashes & anxiety caused by lack of sleep from my body just trying to readjust to a new level of hormones does not seem like a sane idea to me. I'll keep my hot flashes, thank you. Has anyone else ever heard of this? Sounds dangerous to me.
Sorry, but anything that messes with my seratonin is NOT a good thing & where do people get the idea that it is "safe". People die on this stuff. I only have anxiety when I'm at a doctors office.

It's nonsense. This country is nuts..... natural is best... our bodies are marvelous...... menopause is a natural process - and women have been dealing with it since the beginning of time. No one wants a minor inconvenience anymore. We're so spoiled.

I'm not saying some people have valid problems and medicine is there to help - but only if the person is in dire straits .... the medical community makes everything a 'problem, disease, etc. Sometimes there's a true problem - most of the time, it's 'life'. I'm more of an 'alternative medicine' person.... haven't had a cold in 22 years, control my own arthritis (after being told I should be on prescriptions)... nope.....as long as I can handle it.

So... the same goes with menopause - it's inconvient for a while, maybe you get a little dingy & some hot flashes but - it passes.

what are some suggestions for cancer cures?

i have breast cancer that has spreed to my bones(all over)
Cancer treatment centers of American has refused me due to my insurance
but MD And------ is treating me. They are doing very little ( hormones to put me into menopause, which they have told me will not be effective, because my receptors are low anyways. )
they are giving up but , cancer treatment centers tell me there are other options.

i've just been diagnosed to have early onset stage 1 (invasive) breast cancer today. if it hasn't been for my faith in God and some help from a great support group, i've managed to keep my sanity and hope in check. below are some resources that you might wanna check out. and if you have Netflix, "The Gerson Miracle" is on Watch Instantly.
