Before your period your body goes trough tons of hormonal/chemical changes. So it can decrease the serotonin and heighten depression or anxiety.

Maybe because of the mood swings. Like some people get really angry or upset before it. Some people get depressed. So it might just me mood swings. It's normal, but if you see it as a problem, then I would suggest seeing a doctor about it.

What your feeling is a Normal range of emotions before your period - hormones play a huge part in how you feel. Personally, I used to get major headaches and feel unhappy, but now I decide to hike. The increase in my serotonin level balances me out and the hike distracts me from my headache. What can you try or have tried that helps before you get depressed?

Before your period, your hormones can get unbalanced and make you feel sad. This is called premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and "can include mood swings, tender breasts, food cravings, fatigue, irritability, and depression" among other things.

It could be hormonal. The rush of hormones as your body divests itself of the preparations that it had made for pregnancy.

There are alot of "hormonal" changes that go along with the female "cycle". If you are having ongoing issues of feeling depressed during this timeframe, you might want to consider speaking with your healthcare provider to discuss options to help.
