Do you struggle with depression? Are you having other perimenopause symptoms? Depression and perimenopause symptoms can be related. Learn why depression is more common during perimenopause, and what natural approaches you can take to feel better.
Depression may occur at any point during perimenopause, but you are most likely to be affected in the mid to later stages of perimenopause. When testosterone levels start to decline in mid-perimenopause, depression may appear. At this point you could also have reduced sex drive, less interest in sexual intimacy, and less energy than usual.
Later, when estrogen levels drop, this can also contribute to depression. This is the point when you start having classic perimenopause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness.
