Hormones, Depression Bipolar, esp. Ladies

Posted by starlight on September 12, 2004, at 11:39:28

Hi All,
Have you considered the link between hormones and mental health? Think about this, one of the first things to send me off the scale depression wise was birth control pills. We've got PMS issues, which make us depressed or agitated, etc. I wonder how much of a connection there is between mental health and hormones, and if so, the why aren't we tested for hormonal imbalance? I know that the last time I was tested in January of 2002, my estrogen came back high. Has anyone else been tested for hormones?

It seems to me that one of the first things they should look at is hormonal balance, before prescribing us all these drugs. And then the second thing of course, would probably getting us off of caffeine "America's drug".

I'm sure that men have issues with hormones as well. Take a look at men with violent tendencies, too much testosterone?
