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.

These frequent and erratic mood swings that disrupt daily life, work, and relationships may be due to fluctuating hormones. In such cases, bioidentical HRT can help.

HRT helps manage mood swings by supplementing your natural hormone levels. Many women also experience relief from anxiety and depression, as hormonal balance supports mental health and overall well-being.

Will HRT worsen my moods?

Balancing and replenishing hormones with HRT will most likely improve the incidence of erratic mood swings rather than make them worse.

It may take some time for your body to adjust to the new influx of hormones, but most women start to experience a brighter outlook and reduced emotional fluctuations within the first month of treatment.
