Hey there. When I went into perimenopause my depression and anxiety became much worse. Our hormones have a profound effect on our moods. My gyn was of no help whatever - "S*cks to be you" is what she said.
For me it has taken time and patience to get through the past 4 years. many different medications, getting on birth control pills, then dealing with weight gain, migraines and high blood pressure as a result (thanks, doc!), trying alternative medicines... I was trying everything that was suggested I try. Dr. Christiane Northrup wrote an excellent book about the subject, "Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom" that has great advice to surviving and thriving.ClearSkies
