Perhaps some of you aren't aware of the connection between depression and menopause. in my opinion, this is the best site online for info...and to help you realise maybe u aren't as crazy as you think you are. lol

The connection between these is one of the first things I looked up when I started losing my marbles...Though I am 39, and currently all systems are still go, I know the changes that come with menopause can begin earlier than we might imagine...Thanks for the good info...It is definitely something to be aware of... :0)

u can be "peri-menopausal" long before...so the site is good for those in their late 30's and 40's as it gives TONZA info on both peri..and menopause. :) it really is an excellent site. :)

Think women have been dismissed by doctors, for the most part...by what role hormones play in our emotional well-being.
This site is staffed by doctors who know their shit.
Very helful and educational...supportive. Worth a look-see. :)

My doc put me back on the hormones again *makes yucky face* But she said it should help with all the physical stuffs and the mood swings. My psych doc actually will tell you our horomones play a huge part in our mental health disorders.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
