Mood changes, anxiety, depression: Diagnosis & treatment

Evidence-based options for treating mood changes, anxiety, depression — medications, lifestyle, and clinical pathways.

Treatment options

Hormone therapy can help mood symptoms tied to hormonal volatility, especially in early menopause. SSRIs and SNRIs are effective and often used first-line. CBT and other talk therapies complement medication. The combination outperforms either alone.

Informational only. Final treatment decisions require a licensed clinician who knows your full medical history.
