Midlife is a period of significant change for many women, marked by physical, emotional, and hormonal transitions. It's not uncommon for women in their 40s and 50s to experience mood swings, irritability, and feelings of sadness during this time. Many women going through this phase and feeling are told that they might have depression or may themselves believe so, when all they could be experiencing is a big change in their hormones and body.
On the other hand, the feelings that could be blamed on hormones might be coming from actual mental health issues, causing anxiety or even depression. In such a phase, it can be difficult to put a finger on what exactly you are going through.
