These inquiries reflect the significant clinical challenges encountered during this phase, marked by rapid changes in clinical conditions, an increase in depressive episodes, and symptom alterations that challenge the efficacy of previously successful treatments.&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1-3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite the universality of menopause and ongoing advances in psychiatric research, these issues remain critically relevant in clinical practice for psychiatrists managing BD, leaving professionals grappling for reliable answers to provide to their patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The current body of literature exploring the relationship between BD and menopause is notably sparse and fraught with methodological limitations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite these identified gaps, as evidenced by more recent reviews by Truong and Marsh&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and Aragno et al.,&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; these problems are still largely overlooked, and the issue of BD and menopause remains largely unresolved. The continuous oversight in addressing these critical aspects indicates a significant area of need within psychiatric research and clinical practice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Expanding upon the critical research needs highlighted by Perich et al. there is a pressing need for focused investigation into postmenopause (PM), currently a major gap in our understanding and management of BD during menopause.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PM, according to the STRAW + 10 criteria,&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;4, 5&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; particularly during phases +1c and +2, is characterized by hormonal stabilization marked by high levels of FSH and low levels of estradiol. This hormonal stability contrasts with the fluctuations observed during the menopausal transition (MT), making PM a distinct phase that requires independent study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The questions about how symptomatology and therapy for BD will change during menopause, raised at the beginning of this manuscript, remain unanswered but serve as crucial guides for future research.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The fact that PM has never been studied independently as a phase represents both a challenge and an opportunity for future optimization of interventions in BD.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is now crucial to focus on understanding the impact of PM on BD. Clear definitions are needed, including the diagnosis of BD, its subtypes, and specifiers. Additionally, the specific phase of PM must be defined according to the STRAW + 10 criteria,&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;4, 5&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; particularly focusing on phases +1c and +2, which are characterized by hormonal stabilization. Research should also concentrate on specific acute phases of BD, especially depressive phases which are more common during menopause. Longitudinal studies are necessary to evaluate the number and characteristics of relapses.
