How Do Hormonal Changes Affect Mental Health?

Hormonal fluctuations during menstrual cycles, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause can lead to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and mood swings. For instance, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) are closely linked to hormonal changes and can cause significant emotional distress. Understanding these links allows healthcare providers to offer more comprehensive care.
