Mood and hormones are connected
Oestrogen and progesterone influence brain chemicals involved in mood. That is why many women feel more irritable, tearful or anxious in the days before a period, in the weeks after birth, and during perimenopause. These feelings are real, not imagined, and they are common.
What helps
Knowing where you are in your cycle helps you plan demanding days and be kinder to yourself on harder ones. Regular meals, movement, daylight, enough sleep and less alcohol and caffeine all support a steadier mood. Talking openly with those close to you makes a difference too.
Support in this collection
PMS Hero contains vitamin B6, which contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. Meno Mood is designed for the menopause years. Cycle & Mood and Calm Vibes Only patches and the Perimenopause Kit complete the range.
When it is more than PMS
If low mood, anxiety or anger is severe every month, or lasts most days for two weeks or more, please speak to a doctor. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder and postnatal depression are real conditions that respond to proper care.
