Menopause and Anger

During
Perimenopause, in the transitional period before menopause, women
experience a number of emotional problems and mood swings, including
anger, in addition to physical changes. According to experts,
perimenopause does not cause anger and other mood swings, but
fluctuations in hormone production during perimenopause trigger anger,
depression and other mood swings that are already pre-existing.

Many women, at a slightest provocation, would have waves of intense
emotions, such as anger go through them. Many would be intolerant of
behaviors that transgressed their own limits, and limits of others.
Some women would be focused on their sense of outrage and anger, and
would intervene, frequently on behalf of others.

Simple changes in your life style can lessen stresses, such as, anger
and other mood swings, during the period leading to menopause.
Following an exercise regimen is one good way of reducing anger during
menopause. Exercise, a great stress-reliever has antidepressant and
anxiolytic (anxiety relieving) effects. Regular exercisers typically
have fewer mental and physical health problems, and brisk walks three
times a week will help you during Perimenopause to reduce the severity
of anger and other mood swings.

Exercising also stimulates endorphins, hormones that reduce the
sensation of pain and affect emotions, such as anger, and boosts
Serotonin levels. Serotonin regulates cyclic body processes. In
addition, exercise helps you sleep better, and controls weight gain,
which is normally associated with perimenopause and menopause. It is
far better to take out your pent up emotions and anger on the
jogging/walking track and the gym equipments, than on your family,
friends and colleagues!

If you have a medical condition, consult your doctor before deciding on
an exercise regimen. It would normally take several weeks, as much as
four months, before you will see improvements in your mood swings and
anger.

Effect of Diet on Anger During Menopause
For women in perimenopause and menopause, diet has a great effect on
the emotional aspects, such as anger. Diets rich in protein and
especially Omega-3 fatty acids, reduced intake of sugar, caffeine and
carbohydrates, etc, should be highly preferred. Salmon, tuna, and other
cold-water fish and flaxseed oil are the sources of Omega-3 fatty
acids.

To overcome anger and other anxiety and mood swings; women in perimenopause and menopause should supplement their diet with:

· Amino acid tryptophan - a natural relaxant that reduces anxiety and
depression by increasing serotonin levels.
· Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) - It works as a natural tranquilizer.
· DLPA (D, L-phenylalanine) - It bolsters mood-elevating chemicals in
the brain and blocks a nervous system enzyme that amplifies pain
signals. It is a more effective pain reliever in combination with GABA.
· Tyrosene - It is a natural stimulant and very appropriate to get rid
of mood swings.

In comparison to pre-menopausal women, women during perimenopause and
menopause have a double risk of experiencing anger, depression and
other mood swings. It has been found that, it makes no difference to
the above experiences whether you are taking Hormone Replacement
Therapy (HRT) or not.
