But do you know what actually triggers this disturbance to mental health? It's your hormones. Yes, you read it right.
If you struggle with sadness, the source may be your hormones. It's possible that hormonal changes can send your mood on a depressive roller coaster. An imbalance in your hormones can be the very cause of depression. Recent research and studies have shown that the key hormones linked with the condition are corticotropin, cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and thyroid hormones.
How Hormones lead to Depression

Adrenal hormones
The adrenal glands produce and release cortisol in reaction to stress. Because of that, it's frequently referred to as the stress hormone.
Estrogen
Low amounts of estrogen may lead to hormonal sadness, particularly in women. Elevated estrogen levels may improve your mood.
Testosterone
Although primarily associated with males, testosterone is necessary for both biological sexes to function normally.
Progesterone
Progestins are probably a causal component of clinical depression, as per studies. Progestorone, when in harmony with estrogen, can lessen anxiety.
Therefore, it is very important to understand your hormonal changes and imbalances so tat you get the right treatment at the right time.
