Mood Swings or Depression
Changes in the production of estrogen and other hormones could affect your mood and mental health during menopause. Many women say that they experience feelings of depression, irritability, or mood swings during this time. In some cases, they can go from severe lows to extreme highs in short periods of time. Keep in mind that those hormone fluctuations can affect the brain and mood swings can be caused by other conditions as well. Thus, make sure to consult your doctor to rule out menopause. [9]
