Mood Swings, Anxiety, or Depression in Perimenopause
Mood Swings, Anxiety, or Depression in Perimenopause
Hormonal Shifts Can Lead to Emotional Changes, Irritability, or New/Worsening Mental Health Concerns
Crying easily, low self-esteem, feeling numb, and losing interest in your normal activities can all be symptoms of mood changes during the transition to menopause. Nearly half of women going through perimenopause may experience symptoms similar to PMS. Unlike PMS, these symptoms won’t show up on a predictable schedule, making them all the more challenging.
Mood changes during perimenopause can include:
- Irritability
- Low energy
- Sadness
- Difficulty concentrating
What Causes Mood Swings During Perimenopause?
Hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause are unpredictable, making their effect on your mood equally unpredictable. Hot flashes, sleep problems, and other discomforts can make your mood worse as well. Other factors that could contribute to mood changes at this time of life may have more to do with external factors such as the stress of managing a demanding job, raising children, sending children off to college, caring for aging parents, and other life changes.
