Symptom #7: Mood Swings
There are many causes of mood swings. This symptom is more common during perimenopause, when erratic hormonal fluctuations are present, versus in post-menopause. However, no direct link has been stablished between mood swings and low estrogen.
Many factors can contribute to mood swings in menopause. Hot flashes may disrupt sleep, causing fatigue and irritability; life’s stressful situations (i.e. peaking professional responsibilities), and unpredictable hormonal changes can cause some woman to feel overwhelmed and vulnerable to mood swings.
