Am I just depressed or is it menopause?
I've been in menopause for a few years now. For most of my life I have struggled with depression and been diagnosed multiple times with ADHD and dysthymia. Once I hit menopause, I found other women I knew were experiencing depression, but they said it was depression caused by menopause.
For the past few years I've had a much harder time dealing with my depression. I was in outpatient therapy, multiple medications and tons of therapy sessions. I've gotten better after hitting a real low, but not that much better, I'm still depressed. I'm starting to get curious how much of my depression might be caused by menopause.
Has anyone in the group experienced an onset of depression from menopause? Or had menopause harmone therapy relieve them of depression symptoms?
