The tears that come from nowhere, the short fuse, the sense of not quite feeling like yourself — the emotional side of menopause can be as unsettling as the flushes.
If menopausal mood swings and irritability are wearing you down, here are the gentle natural remedies women reach for.
Why menopause affects your mood
Shifting hormones affect brain chemistry, and broken sleep and stress pile on top.
- Fluctuating hormones, affecting mood-regulating brain chemistry.
- Broken sleep, tiredness shortening your fuse.
- Stress stacking up, life and change feeding the irritability.
The short version: menopausal mood swings come from shifting hormones and broken sleep, and gentle support helps steady you.
