Is my depression and anxiety the source of my irregular periods?

Possibly: Depression and anxiety can cause added stress to the body which can affect the timing of your menstrual cycle. Keep track of how irregular your periods are. Other medical issues can cause irregularities as well, so see your doctor to be sure.
