Is there any way you can see an ob/gyn who is also an endocrinologist? Even an ob/gyn would be preferable to a GP- they are much more knowledgeable about hormones. It is not that unusual of someone your age going through perimenopause- there is a simple blood test done on Day 3 of your period that measures (I think) FSH that will determine your status. I don't know how many psychotropic meds you are on, but perhaps a wash could demonstrate if this is med or a hormone reaction. Also, you might want to do a search on the site for thyroid disorders, (Noa put something together) since dysfunction of the thyroid can mimic psych disorders. Best of luck- Judy
