Estrogen & Mood: Navigating Emotional Changes

Estrogen isn’t just about hot flashes or periods — it plays a key role in your brain and emotions. Declining levels during perimenopause and menopause can affect:

- Emotional balance: irritability, tearfulness, or low tolerance

- Stress response: more sensitive to triggers

- Motivation & confidence: sometimes feeling “off” without clear reason

Tips to support mood:
Prioritize sleep & routine
Gentle movement & sunlight
Mindfulness, journaling, or social connection

Speak to your clinician about safe, personalized strategies.

Understanding your hormones helps you take charge of your emotional well-being.
