Teen Mental Health and Hormones: Making the Connection

Hormones and mental health are deeply connected — especially during adolescence. At Be. Women’s Health in Frisco, TX, we help families understand how physical and emotional changes intertwine.

Teens may experience:

• Anxiety
• Mood swings
• Irritability
• Sleep changes
• Low motivation
• Depression symptoms
• Body-image concerns

Why hormones play a role:

Puberty creates major shifts in estrogen and progesterone, which influence mood, stress response, and sleep.
Irregular cycles may increase emotional ups and downs.
Thyroid issues can mimic depression or anxiety.
PCOS in teens often presents with mood changes first.

When to seek help:

✔ If mood changes affect school or relationships
✔ If sleep becomes disrupted
✔ If anxiety seems out of control
✔ If your teen feels overwhelmed often
✔ If periods changed at the same time mood changed

Mental and reproductive health are inseparable — treating both leads to real relief.
