Hormonal issues?

Has anyone else had hormonal issues contribute to their depression? I really can't get doctors to listen to me. I am diagnosed with PCOS, but a week ago I was really really depressed and spotting. Then the spotting stopped and my mood went back up. I am not sexually active, so I'm not pregnant. I usually get my period once every three months, which is normal for me. But last month I got it for three weeks straight, where for three weeks prior to it I stayed down the entire time. Then as soon as my period started, my mood went back up (not manic up, but normal, sociable, able to move from my bed and shower, up). Should I talk to my doctor or just deal with this? I feel like my Primary care doctor is just tired of dealing with me. He has done so much for me.

You should really inform this to your Primary care doctor

Yes, you should talk to your doctor. Thyroid function tests may be in order.

I suffer from hypothyroidism alongside depression. The hypothyroid treatment has no noticeable affect on my depression, but it's likely I would be worse without it.

Thank you for your response, I have had my thyroid tested many times and it came back normal.

It would be horrible to have a period for three weeks straight. To me it sounds like there are hormonal problems that could be fixed. If your primary doc is dismissing this I would try to see a gyn doc. I had problems similar to this right before menopause hit. Best of wishes.

Yeah, I hate to ask the question being of a certain age myself, how old are you?

I'm 49 and my last period started with spotting and lasted for 6 weeks, getting really, really heavy by the end. Eventually, I had to have a hormone treatment that stopped the bleeding but really triggered my depression and paranoia. You have to work with your doctor on this one and get a referral to a gyn.

Before the peri-menopause hit, I found hormones always triggered my depression and my normal cycle used to be 22 days so I was rollercoasting the whole time, I'm actually relieved that the longer cycles have levelled out that aspect of my mood and I actually look forward to the menopause because it will put an end to all the uncertainty and hassle.
