Hormonal changes and life stressors can impact mood. If you’re experiencing anxiety, depression or persistent irritability, consider talking with your provider and exploring counseling resources available. It has also been shown that time spent in nature, doing hobbies that enrich your life and participating in fellowship activity are pillars for your mental health, so try to get outside and connect with people and things that lift you up.
