Does anyone else suffer from intermittant depression that they reckon is caused by hormones. I can't sem to find out anything much on the internet.
I suffered dreadful depression whilst pregnant and when my periods started again last year I started to become depressed again but only now and then (about 11 days in any month with no pattern)Evening Primrose oil sorted out the PMT but after a particularly bad few days I went to the Doctor and was prescribed Anti depressents which I then didn't take because I felt better. Two months on I had another few AWFUL days and started the packet only to then have an unusually long menstrual cycle and then a really short one which kind of confirmed to me that my depression is hormone related.
I don't like to take AD's because I'm breast feeding. I wonder if the breast feeing is adding to the unstable hormone situation. Anyway, can't seem to find any wanswers so hoping someone has some experience.
