Just FYI -- peri/menopause brought me a big fat dose of suicidal ideation. Luckily, I knew from growing up in a family of serious depressives, that this was something from somewhere else, not internal. Still took 5 years to get real HRT, which has been the solution for me to not just that problem but also the brain fog and hair trigger temper. Not trying to give you advice, but I like to remind people when I can, that the hormonal changes can do a massive number on your mental health, and the doctors will probably dismiss it, so keep asking until you find what works for you.
