Can hormone issues cause feelings of despair and uneasiness? had surge long ago now it creeps up now and then. psychologists don't seem to help much.

Also it may help to get your thyroid hormone checked. Although a purely biological etiology to mental illness is possible it often emerges in a context of stress and strained coping skills.

There are good sites this is just one. http://www.anxietycoach.com/breathingexercise.html perhaps a mindfulness meditation group class? You can do things that will help. Good luck.
