A member asked:

Which hormone(s) is/are responsible for mood swings and anxiety symptoms before and during the menstrual period? how exactly are they affecting moods?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Estrogen/Progesteron: Your Estrogen and progesterone levels drop dramatically the week prior to your period. This drop affects you in many ways. For example, it decreases your brain serotonin levels and this can make you blue and depressed. Best wishes!
