president's own party are urging him to do more hoping he'll invoke the defense production act giving the president emergency powers to order companies to produce more of a certain product at least one manufacturer says they are already working 24/7 but say that is just one part of the solution it is important to realize this is impacting so many parents nearly 43% of the nation's supply is out of stock guys >> so heartbreaking. feeding your baby is so fundamentally. blayne as you know you have 10 month old sage there. thank you very much for the story this morning. now wisconsin and a county there that is a democratic stronghold in that crucial swing state. but it is also where some of the party base say they are frustrated by the lack of federal action on student loans. it was a key campaign promise, but now another class is graduating and adding to the debt crisis. nbc shaquille introducer at

8:35 back with your health. >> this is women's health mont this morning we're looking at something that impact a lot of women in their 40s, 50s and 60s. anxiety and depression. >> new information about the causes and treatments. maria, good morning. >> good morning all of you well, the number of middle aged women taking anti-depressants is truly eye opening. some even say it is staggering it is more than double the number of men of the same age. so we wondered what's contributing to this high rate of depression among women at midlife? and could there be better treatment to ease their symptoms >> reporter: the numbers are simply staggering. about one in five women betweenn nearly 1 in 4. that's twice the rate for n the same age and while depression is more common among middle aged women,

some experts believe anti-depressants are being over prescribed to treat their mptoms >> i'm very concerned. i think it is wron replacement. >> o ob/gyn dr. donna shup says during menopause most women go through symptoms like hot flashes and difficulty sleeping but and also risk havoc on the mood risk of depression is two to four times higher around menopause than at any other time in her life. and many experts say hormone therapy is a more effective treatment than traditional anti-depressants. >> women in their 40s and 50s complaining of i'm anxious, feel like this impending doom i'm depressed. and they are given prozac or another ssri you are saying you don't need that and you actually need hrt instead? >> this is absolutely correct. add back hormone replacement and many women go back to normal pretty quickly.

>> it worked for nina collins. in her late 40s he was in peri and her kids were off at college. that's when she says anxiety and depression hit her like a truck. >> it was really a feeling like am i about go off a cliff? like, i felt like i'm gaining a little weight. i'm not as pretty as i used to be i was in a bad second marriage so i thought okay i'm going to be twice divorced, unattra no kids at home. you know, who will want me >> her doctor gave her prozac, but the depression kept getting worse. then her gynecologist added in hormone therapy. nina says the difference was night and day. >> for me, i honestly have never felt more kind of balanced and happy. >> while many women are afraid of estrogen, thinking it will increase their chance of breast cancer, newer studies show the

risk is low for women in their 50s. in fact taking estrogen in midlife is linked to stronger bones and possibly better hearts and brain health >> i think the benefits are quite high and the risks are very low. >> reporter: now scientists at the national institute of mentally are hoping to develop even better treatments for depression in middle aged women. medications that actually target estrogen receptors in their brains the goal to alleviate depressive symptoms without the side effects of traditional therapy >> i think it would be hugely important, anti-depreswon who is going to be taking them. >> reporter: to help others like her, she runs a platform called revel which offers forums and expert advice on menopause and midlife. >> you went to your doctor for things you did not associate. >> right. >> with menopause. being depressed. being anxious, being irritable and people didn't connect the dots for you.

>> that is why i started the community i did. >> knowing that you are not alone and being able to talk to other women about how to get through it is huge >> the bottom line is experts say any woman in her 40s and 50s experiencing depression or anxiety should talk to her ob/gyn about hormone replacement therapy as a possible treatment. and this is really important because so many women don't know when they are in perimenopause they don't associate, insomnia, mood changes with menopause. >> i think you are right that a that. lot of people did think that hrt was so connected to cancer that you was just like hands off of that. >> exactly that was sort of the message out there.

and now people are rethinking that and saying obviously everybody if you have a history of breast cancer, that is really important. but other people who never thought about hormones are finding incredible relief. bio identical hormones, all different kinds. but have that conversation. >> it opens the door to continue having that conversation so many women are suffering. >> and the new research is exciting too. >> yea >> thank you marh.ia
