Hi.
Certainly there is more chance of this due to hormonal changes.
If this is long lasting request your Doctor to try to give you HRT= hormone replacement therapy just for one month.
IF the problem is solved - this is diagnostic as well as therapeutic too.
Continue HRT. It is better to take than the psychotropic drugs.
What you need are the medicines to elevate your mood not to give sleep- as most of the anti-depressants give. Please request your Doctor to give you anxiolytics and not the anti-depressants.
