10 Estrogen Dominance Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #4: Depression And Anxiety
Depression and anxiety are symptoms of estrogen dominance. The more estrogen there is in the body, the more cortisol hormone is made. Cortisol is responsible for the fight-or-flight response and helps the body regulate blood pressure, increases blood sugar, keeps inflammation down, and controls the sleep and wake cycle. The more cortisol, the more anxiety will happen.
There are many studies that have shown the direct relationship between estrogen and anxiety and depressive behavior. In one study done on rats, when estrogen was administered it increased their anxiety and depressive behavior. Another study done with rats showed that their panic disorder happened after the estrogen was given.
