Mood, Anxiety, & Depression
Many women have a similar story of starting to struggle with their mental health as they approach their 40s. This is no coincidence. Menopause can have dramatic effects on mental health, causing women to experience mood swings, anxiety, and even depression.
Throughout women’s lives, it’s natural to experience some hormone fluctuations that can affect mood and mental health, beginning with puberty, and continuing monthly through the reproductive years. So, just as with menstruation and pregnancy, it’s common for women to struggle with mood swings during the menopause transition. A sharp drop or imbalance in estrogen and progesterone levels in menopausal years can have unpleasant results.
At Winona, our doctors can help manage these symptoms with the right treatment. Find out more about menopausal mood swings, anxiety, and depression, and learn the best tips on how to address mental health concerns.
