Menopause is a significant transition in a woman’s life. It is marked not only by physical changes but also by emotional fluctuations. Mood swings during menopause is common. It can range from mild irritability to severe depression. Understanding the causes can help you during this challenging phase.



Understanding Menopausal Mood Swings


Menopause is driven by the decline in estrogen and progesterone levels. These hormones play important roles in regulating mood. Their fluctuations can lead to emotional instability.


Common Symptoms of Menopausal Mood Swings:

  • Irritability: Frequent annoyance and anger over minor issues.

  • Anxiety: Unexplained nervousness and worry.

  • Depression: Persistent sadness, hopelessness, and lack of interest in daily activities.

  • Tearfulness: Increased tendency to cry easily.

  • Sleep Disturbances: Difficulty falling or staying asleep, which can intensify mood swings.



Causes of Mood Swings During Menopause


Several factors contribute to mood swings during menopause:


1.Hormonal Changes: The most significant factor - oestrogen and progesterone influence serotonin levels in the brain. This affects mood regulation.


2. Sleep Problems: Hot flashes and night sweats can disrupt sleep, leading to fatigue and irritability.


3. Stress: Life changes during this period, such as children leaving home or aging parents, can add to emotional stress.


4. Health Concerns: Physical symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, joint pain, and weight gain, can impact mood.


5. Psychological Factors: The realisation of aging can trigger emotional responses.




Managing Menopausal Mood Swings


Effective management of mood swings during menopause involves a holistic approach that includes lifestyle changes.


  • Regular Exercise: Physical activity releases endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week.


  • Healthy Diet: A balanced diet rich in vegetables, proteins, and wholefoods can help stabilise mood. Excessive caffeine and alcohol can exacerbate mood swings.


  • Adequate Sleep: Prioritise good sleep hygiene by maintaining a regular sleep schedule. Create a comfortable sleep environment, and avoid screens before bedtime.


  • Stress Reduction: Yoga, meditation, and deep-breathing exercises can help manage stress levels.


  • Natural Remedies: Homeopathic remedies tailored to individual symptoms can provide relief. Remedies that may be beneficial for menopausal mood swings include Sepia, Lachesis, and Pulsatilla.

" After spending much time internet searching menopausal symptoms/relief etc., I came across Natural Health Surrey and feel very grateful I did. Naziana is such an easy person to talk to.

There were things I might have hesitated telling a doctor yet I felt comfortable sharing all information in our calls.

She was non-judgemental and understanding and exuded confidence that she could help. And help she did.

As there were lots of symptoms, we focused on one thing at a time (which felt a reassuring process) and at each call, I could really see the progress when we reviewed the past weeks.

There's still some work to do, but having made such vast improvements over the past few weeks, I feel more equipped to continue. Thank you for all your help and understanding.''
