In multiple stages of a woman’s life, hormonal changes can influence mood and healthy being.
Let’s go through some of those stages and understand why that happens 👇🏼
Puberty is one of the first stages in which your female hormones start to change, and you feel it at peaks and lows of your levels. It can give you an idea of how your body reacts to hormonal changes later in life.
The next stage when drastic hormonal change is notable is the postpartum period. It is one of the sharpest drops of hormones a woman will experience in a lifetime. If you have a hard time adjusting emotionally at puberty and have significant premenstrual symptoms, you have to have a great support system and be aware of signs of postpartum depression.
The next time you go through the second most significant drop of hormones is menopause, and no, it’s not hysteria. Perimenopause/post-menopause is a considerable adjustment period to much lower hormonal levels. And here, it’s helpful if your gynecologist listens and hears you and your complaints. They can be addressed symptomatically or with hormone replacement therapy.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by hormonal changes, don’t hesitate to seek help, whether it’s from a trusted friend, family member, or healthcare professional.
Remember, your feelings are valid, and you deserve to be heard and understood 🫂
