May is Mental Health Awareness Month
Menopause affects mental health primarily through drastic drops in estrogen and progesterone, which directly regulate mood chemicals like serotonin. This hormonal shift, often compounded by sleep disturbances and major midlife transitions, can trigger anxiety, depression, brain fog, and severe mood swings.
Taking care of our mental wellbeing is super important. Acupuncture can really help with mental health by soothing the nervous system, lowering stress hormones like cortisol.
Treatment encourages the release of feel-good chemicals like serotonin and endorphins helping with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
Self-care is all about making a conscious effort to take steps that maintain, restore, and enhance your physical, mental, and emotional health.
