Hormones and Your Mental Health



Since founded, Heart to Heart Counseling Center has always maintained a holistic approach of treating clients.Studies show that 80 percent of women suffer from hormonal imbalances. Some women live with these imbalances without even realizing it; in fact, 70 percent are unaware of conditions that may have manifested due to hormonal irregularities. For men, studies indicate that hormone levels fall nearly one percent each year after they reach 30 years old. The human body produces hundreds of hormones, but the following four of them have a direct influence on brain health/mental health:

1. Thyroid (energy regulation)
2. Estrogen (mood modulator)
3. Progesterone (nature’s anti-anxiety hormone)
4. Testosterone (mood, motivation, sexuality, strength)

Hormone imbalance can lead to stress, and stress can lead to hormone imbalance. Our work with sex addicts, intimacy anorexics, and their partners shows a significant increase in stress and anxiety based on the emotional strain of their circumstances.

 Symptoms of hormone dysregulation can include:

- Depressed mood
- Mood swings
- Anxiety
- Sleep disturbances (fatigue and insomnia)
- Muscle aches, stiffness, or weakness
- Memory loss
- Brain fog, confusion, difficulty concentrating
- Fast or slow heart rate
- Hair Loss
- Dry skin
- Temperature intolerance
- Weight gain or weight loss
- Infertility
- Decreased sex drive
- Hot flashes and night sweats
