The force confirmed she was treated as a high risk missing person when she disappeared.
Officers revealed Nicola had “vulnerabilities” - including “significant issues with alcohol” in the past that were brought on by her “ongoing struggles with the menopause”.
They also divulged they had been sent to Nicola's home on January 10 following a report of a concern for welfare.
The force is now facing an Independent Office for Police Conduct probe.
Home Secretary has also ordered the force to explain why Nicola's personal battles were released.
Nicola's family have called for an end to "appalling" speculation about the mum-of-two's private life.
They were made aware police were releasing the statement but have not confirmed if they approved it.
“We as a family believe that the public focus has become distracted from finding Nikki, and more about speculation and rumours into her and Paul’s private life,” they said.
“Due to the perimenopause, Nikki suffered with significant side-effects such as brain fog [and] restless sleep and was taking HRT [hormone replacement therapy] to help, but this was giving her intense headaches which caused Nikki to stop taking the HRT, thinking that may have helped her, but only ended up causing this crisis.
“The public focus has to be on finding her and not making up wild theories about her personal life.”
Nicola has been described as white, 5ft 3ins tall with light-brown shoulder-length hair.
She was last seen wearing an ankle-length black quilted gilet jacket with a black Engelbert Strauss waist-length coat underneath and black tight-fitting jeans.
She had long green walking socks tucked into her jeans, ankle-length green Next wellies, a necklace and a pale blue Fitbit on.
Nicola has an Essex accent and links to the Thornton-Cleveleys area near Blackpool.
Anybody with information about where she might be is asked to call 101, quoting log 473 of January 27, or ring 999 for immediate sightings.
