I think it's possible and very well hereditary. I think it's better to err on the side of maintaining contact with a pdoc vs. Obgyn. I don't find gyns as sensitive to the realities of mental health. Or being in contact with someone on the holistic side of things?

Maybe there's much more than hormones and it's more than just the change of life?

Hereditary. For instance when I do ever reach that point in life, seeing I'm a late bloomer in comparison to my mom and grandmom, I can expect not much more than hot flashes based upon family history. Then told to enjoy not needing to shave so much or worry about waxy ears and all that...

Osteoporosis can affect many. Vitamin D deficiencies can affect fatigue and moods...if looking holistically.
