Hello dear Greetings
Regarding whether elleste duet cont causes weight gain mood swings and depression I will suggest that it can cause weight gain but that of mood swings and depression are caused by menopause
Though the use of elleste duet cont is made up of estradiol and norethisterone which is used to treat pre and post menopausal symptoms
I believe with continuous treatment you symptoms will resolve spontaneously
You can see a psychologist for further Councelling and treatment if no improvement in your depression and swing mood
I hope this helps Regards
