Mood Changes
There really isn't any conclusive evidnce that menopause causes mood swings in women. However, there has been a link between recurrence of depression during menopause in women who have previously had depression. Also, mood changes could actually be the result of one of the many other symptoms of menopause. For example, lack of sleep caused by night sweats.
Treatment: While hormone treatment does improve symptoms of irritability in many women, it alone is not effective in treating someone who may be suffering from depression. As such, women who are affected by mood changes and are menopausal should see their doctors to rule out depression and other possible illnesses.
