Hello thanks for asking from HCM Increased anxiety and depressive symptoms are seen during menstrual cycle in some females. Hormonal changes are the reason behind such mood symptoms. A lot of females suffer increased anxiety, mood swing, irritability during menstrual cycle. The condition is related to pre-menstrual dysphoric syndrome. In most of females no treatment is needed and they show good response to relaxation exercises. Relaxation exercises like yoga, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation exercises, breathing exercises are useful. Try to follow these methods. To decrease anxiety avoid using excess coffee, tea during cycle. If a female don t get improvement to non medicinal methods then medicines are given. SNRIs group of medicines have good results in such symptoms. Duloxetine is commonly used in prementrual dysphoric disorder. Consult a psychiatrist for prescription of the medicines. Thanks
