Perimenopause expert Dr Ginni Mansberg notes that women can experience sudden mood swings, including waking up in tears, without a prior history of mental health conditions. When seeking medical help, they are often prescribed antidepressants which may not be effective in addressing these symptoms.

She also suggested that mental health professionals provide information on how stress from extreme heat can manifest as anxiety, irritability, or mood swings in postpartum depression, and encourage new mothers to express their feelings before they escalate into more severe cases. Dr Liaquat further recommended collaboration between psychologists, climatologists, and public health experts to address the issue, and highlighted the need for more research on how climate change impacts postpartum depression, particularly in regions such as Pakistan where heatwaves are common.
