Anyone can experience mood swings as a part of normal life, and they're usually tied to a particular situation or event.
However, as hormone levels begin to fluctuate during perimenopause, many women find themselves having rather sudden and intense mood swings that feel out of the ordinary. It's not uncommon for women to experience episodes of crying, sadness, or feeling indifferent.
Frequent and intense mood swings that disrupt daily life, work, and relationships may be caused by fluctuating hormones, in which case, bioidentical HRT can help.
As you supplement your natural hormone levels with HRT, your mood swings should improve. Some women also even experience improvement with anxiety and depression, as the hormones are effective at helping to improve mental health and encourage feelings of well-being.
Will HRT make my moods worse?
Balancing and replenishing hormones with HRT will most likely improve the incidence of erratic mood swings rather than make them worse.
It make take some time for your body to adjust to the new influx of hormones, but most women start to experience a brighter outlook and less emotional fluctuation within the first month of beginning treatment.
