Asking me about my cycles and perhaps hormonal influence on my mood was like one of the first things my therapist and my pdoc brought up with me and took into possible consideration -- both men. In fact, we did reach the conclusion that my heading into perimenopause probably very definitely was a factor in why things went so awry for my at that particular stage of life. Not the only factor (plenty of other factors), but probably a reason things changed so much more at that particular point in time. Interestingly enough, as I've gotten further along into the aging process, those problems have started to level off. This might also be a good conversation to have with your medical doctor.
