The samples were divided into two groups [70 menopaused women and 70 nonmenopaused women], and were selected by cluster sampling from the city of Yazd. The depressive tendency of participants was examined with the Beck depression inventory. About 72% of women were free of any depressive tendency, or very minor depression. Thirty women [21.4%] suffered from intermediate depression and 9 women [6.4%] suffered from sever depression. More than 27% of subjects were suffered from some forms of depression. There was no significant difference between the depression and condition of menopause of women. It is a need to know the women's condition of depression and counseling as well as guiding them on basis of their needs to prevent any disorders
