Mood Changes as Menopause Symptoms
Other possible
menopause symptoms include mood changes. You might find yourself more moody, irritable, or depressed around the time of menopause. It's not clear why this happens -- or if there's a connection between changes in estrogen levels and emotions. It's possible that stress, family changes (such as growing children or aging parents), or always feeling tired could be causing these mood changes.
Changes in Your Body Related to Menopause Symptoms
You might notice your body is changing. Your waist could get larger. You could lose muscle and gain fat. Your skin could get thinner. Your hair could get thinner, or you may start losing your hair. You might have memory problems, and your joints and muscles could feel stiff and achy. Are these menopause symptoms due to having less estrogen or are they just related to growing older? No one knows for sure.
