The Connection Between Hormones and Mental Health: What You Need to Know
If you’ve been feeling anxious, moody, foggy, or depressed, and nothing seems to help—it may be time to look deeper than your emotions. Your hormones might be the missing piece.
At Coastal Health & Vitality in Richmond Hill, GA, we help clients uncover how hormonal imbalance can affect mental health, and how rebalancing those hormones can bring lasting relief.
Hormones That Affect Your Brain:
🌿 Estrogen & Progesterone
These hormones impact serotonin and GABA, the chemicals responsible for regulating mood and calm. Imbalances can lead to irritability, anxiety, and mood swings—especially around your cycle.
🌿 Cortisol
High or low levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) can trigger chronic anxiety, overwhelm, and mental fatigue.
🌿 Thyroid Hormones
Hypothyroidism is frequently misdiagnosed as depression. Low thyroid levels can cause brain fog, fatigue, and low motivation.
🌿 Testosterone
Yes—testosterone affects women, too. Low levels can contribute to brain fog, low motivation, and a sense of detachment.
When It Might Be More Than Just “Mental Health”:
You feel like yourself only a few days a month
You’ve been prescribed antidepressants or anxiety meds but still feel off
Your symptoms are cyclical (worse during PMS or perimenopause)
You feel “flat” or emotionally blunted
You have trouble focusing, even when well rested
