Depression and Mid Life

[rudeawakening]

I wonder how many people have made the connection between their depression and the change of life ? One thing that is a constant between men and women is the chemical imbalanced that often triggers depression, mood swings and anti social behaviours.

You could be pre-menopause (Andreapause for the guys) as early as 35-40 yrs of age. I've dated women that were going experiencing this in their late 30's, verified by their doctors... its not pretty since it can broadside you

Just something to think about...

This is an interresting one Rudeawakening. Recently i have struggling a bit. As i am a 43yr old women I have been wondering whether this could be anything to do with early onset of lifechanges. These feelings i struggle with are very familiar and as far back as i can remember i have lived with them. But they do seem to be getting accentuated of late. But it is so difficult to know what is behind this.

I agree that these feelings can broadside you having seen some women friends go through it. Some have seemed to lose plot entirely until it has been recognised as life-change and medical intervention has restored them to some kind of sanity.

I'm sensitive to many changes. Hormonal fluctuations being one of them. Mainly for psychological reasons, connected with my past.
