Psychological and Behavioral changes in women and their relationship to age: A Comprehensive Review
Keywords:
Psychological, behavioral, women, ageAbstract
A woman undergoes several stages during her life, during which she experiences physical changes in her body, particularly during puberty. These changes are the result of the effects of sex hormones, which play a major role in the development of feminine characteristics, such as breast development, a soft voice, and tender skin. On the other hand, these hormones cause psychological and behavioral changes in her, as these hormones increase and decrease during the menstrual cycle and with advancing age. Therefore, this study aimed to study the psychological and behavioral changes of women during the stages of their life, which were divided into six stages, which include: The first stage is the postpartum period, which extends over the first 28 days after birth. The second stage is called childhood and extends until the age of 8 years. The third stage, known as the pre-puberty stage and puberty period, extends between the ages of 8 and 12 years. The fourth stage is called adolescence and extends from 12 to 20 years. The fifth stage is the period of sexual maturity between the ages of 18 and 50 years. The sixth stage is called puberty and old age and extends after the age of fifty.
