MOOD & IRRITABILITY

During early menopause, life is quite hectic. We find ourselves in the middle of our lives, caring for others, while our bodies undergo changes due to fluctuating and decreasing estrogen levels. This affects our cognitive abilities and mood.

As estrogen and progesterone levels drop during menopause, their role in regulating brain chemicals is reduced, leading to mood swings.

Imbalances:

• Low estrogen may cause tearfulness, cognitive decline, low mood, and depression.
• High estrogen may trigger anger and irritability.

Decreased estrogen impacts mood in two ways:
1. It speeds up the breakdown of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that promotes happiness and well-being.
2. It interacts with MAO-A (monoamine oxidase A), an enzyme that switches off serotonin, affecting the delicate balance between happiness, mood, anxiety, and depression.
