It depends. For me, it got worse. I believe this is due to the decrease in estrogen. Hormones change with menopause, and hormones can affect mood. I use Progesterone 1% cream to help with this. It is a bio-identical hormone, whose purpose is to balance the hormones that have changed from pre-menopausal times. I'm also on an antidepressant (Effexor XR-- have been for years), and an antianxiety medication (Klonopin). I would check with your gynecologist regarding this. Good luck.

Probably not - it only got worse for my sister and mother. Are you under a doctor's care? If not, this might be the time to see professional advice and treatment.
