3. Major depression, postmenopausal women, symptoms like hot flashes, and prevalence and risk factors are research hotspots in the PMD field.
The article is generally reliable and trustworthy as it provides an in-depth analysis of the origin, current hotspots, and research trends on perimenopausal depression (PMD) using a bibliometric tool. The article is well-researched and provides detailed information about the countries, institutions, authors, journals, references, and keywords concerning relevant research. Furthermore, the article does not appear to be biased or one-sided as it presents both sides equally. Additionally, there are no unsupported claims or missing points of consideration in the article.
However, there are some areas that could be improved upon such as providing more evidence for the claims made in order to further strengthen its reliability and trustworthiness. Additionally, there could be more exploration into counterarguments which would provide a more comprehensive overview of PMD research trends.
