A member asked:

I am a week late on my period, have had lack of appetite when i think of eating i get depressed what could this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It could mean: that it is time to get a comprehensive examination and discuss your mood swings with your physician. Hormonal issues can also influence your mood/depression.
