Understand Your Teenagers Hormones To Help Stop Depression
We all know how chemicals and parts of our brains can affect our moods. We also know that situational events like breakups, tests, friends and family issues can also affect our moods. And, we know that sometimes it’s also a combination of both. But… did you know… that hormones also affect how teenagers feel and can contribute to depression they are experiencing?
How Hormones Affect Our Mood
Now, I don’t know about you, but when I was in elementary and high school, I was never taught about progesterone and estrogen. I didn’t know that progesterone makes you tired and estrogen can cause high energy and anxiety. I didn’t know that females experience not one but two PMSs a month due to low estrogen! I didn’t know that when you ovulate your self-esteem will be at it’s highest!
