MENOPAUSE: Menopausal mood swings, headaches ease over time

"Freeman and colleagues followed 404, 35- to 47-year-old women for nine years to investigate how typical menopausal symptoms, along with concentration problems and anxiety, might change over the course of menopause.

They found that women who experienced headaches saw them diminish as menopause approached. Irritability and mood swings also decreased in the menopausal transition as assessed by hormone levels. Levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) increase with menopause, and Freeman and her team found that both mood swings and irritability fell as FSH levels rose."
