YES. My mental illness has definitely been a lot worse since I started peri-menopause. I had a full breakdown not long after starting when I had symptoms of low progesterone, and I am in breakdown mode again three years later. About to get admitted to a residential mental health program next Tuesday and hoping it will help some. I can't control my hormones, but I can try to learn other strategies for coping.
