What You Need to Know About Hormones and Depression

Research has shown a strong connection between estrogen levels and depression throughout a woman's lifetime. We now understand that abrupt hormonal changes can take a toll on women's moods and even cause serious depression. But the good news is that there is a lot women can do to moderate the effect of these changes.

The Estrogen-Depression Connection explores this issue and offers practical advice and tips for managing mood changes throughout all the major stages of a woman's life-from puberty and menstruation to pregnancy and postpartum, and from perimenopause to menopause. It explains in easy-to-understand terms what women can do right now to help balance these estrogen fluctuations through diet and lifestyle changes, alternative therapies, and medication.

    Get the information you need:
  • Learn how estrogen affects each stage of a woman's life
  • Cope with postpartum depression and menopause
  • Find the best medical and alternative treatments

4.0 out of 5 stars a sanity-saving life changer, January 14, 2009
This review is from: The Estrogen-Depression Connection: The Hidden Link Between Hormones and Women's Depression (Paperback)
This book tied together a number of loose threads for me - somebody who's done a lot of personal research on female hormones and mental health. There's not much out there on the connection between the two that delves into such detail in clear, concise, layperson's terms. What helped me is that it explores the way estrogen (in particular) can effect moods and mental health throughout a woman's life. I had suspicions but little evidence, due to scanty knowledge among the medical and popular realms. Now I feel affirmed that my adolescent depression was about so much more than just being a sensitive, moody teenager. I can also see possible connections between other hormonal functions (adrenals, insulin, etc.) and reproductive hormones that may be responsible for ongoing issues with mood through adulthood. It also is the first popular resource I have found that points out how to roughly tell what phase of perimenopause you're in: it points out the specific patterns to menstrual flow and cycles that happen at beginning, middle and end. What a relief to find that I seem to be halfway through.

I was pleased by the authors carefully listing their resources and studies, and even by the excellent, easy to read typesetting used in the book. In all, this book has been a gift to someone who's explored less-than-satisfactory solutions from traditional medicine, naturopathy, psychotherapy, and existentialism for a problem caused by something off the medical radar until recently.

Thank you Drs. Miller and Rogers for wrangling together all of this information in a way that relieves some of the lifelong angst of being an especially hormone-sensitive woman.
