Perimenopause and Menopause:

---

Mental health changes — including unstable moods — are common in perimenopause and can be due to irregular menstrual periods and large fluctuations in the reproductive hormones estrogen and progesterone. Unstable moods and sleep difficulties are common during this time.

For those with a history of mental health conditions, such as major depression, premenstrual syndrome or postpartum depression, significant hormonal fluctuations are even more common than in the general population of perimenopausal women.

It is also important to rule out other causes of mood changes, such as thyroid or other medical disorders that can have similar symptoms.

These changes can be managed through psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and lifestyle interventions so you can continue living your vibrant, healthy life for many years to come!
