Women feel the ebb and flow of our monthly hormonal rhythms.  They shift and change over the course of our lives.  We can experience depression or anxiety related to our hormonal rhythms or if we have a hormone imbalance.  

What can effect women’s hormonal balance?

Birth Control pills, hormone imbalances, PMS, Perimenopause, hormone imbalances with estrogen and progesterone, pregnancy and issues like thyroid problems can all effect the hormonal balance and  rhythms we experience.   

Often hormonal imbalances in women can show up with multiple symptoms and anxiety may just be part of the symptoms a woman comes in to the clinic for help with.  

Hormonal imbalance in women can look like 

more than just anxiety!
