Depression before Periods

Asked for Female, 31 years

I get extremely depressed before my periods, sometimes before one week or two weeks. I scream alot, get irritated from everyone, feel every minor problem is a big one, keep on arguing and then later I feel regret and sometimes cry alot. This only happens before periods. I literally didn't find any issue or frustration these days but still, I go through this condition. What could be the actual reason for it?

Dear Patient,

Are you sure there isn't any other thing bothering you these days? If not then this is hormonal fluctuation. The good thing is the awareness you have of it. You can do meditation, yoga, breathing exercises, walking swimming, etc to regulate your energy. Even 20mins walk daily thrice a week can help regulate your moods. It will release built up energy. In a moment of anger or frustration, walk away, do a pending chore, do something that keeps you happy and busy, indulge in self-care techniques like a long bath, etc. If these things don't help consider meeting a therapist to help you with tips on mood regulation and recommend treatment of necessary.
