Do you think menopause exacerbates depression? I have always suffered from depression, but once I hit menopause it worsened. I had to change meds 2x and finally am starting to feel better.
Of course some of mine might have been going into menopause before Amanda was a year old. Then going to a FP and asking if I could be peri-menopausal and having her tell me "There is NO way you could have just had a baby and be menopausal!"
A later visit to my OB/GYN confirmed I was indeed menopausal at 45. Thanks Mom - I guess I never thought to ask when she and my sister went through this and they both went through early.
Anyway, I have been menopausal for about 3 years now and just starting to feel better. But it was rough for a while.
