Mood Swings, Anger Outbursts, . Diagnosed With BPD. Taking Treatment From Psychiatrist, Psychologist

Hello. I am 48 years old and have been experiencing pre menopause symptoms for some time now. Within the last two years, I have been experiencing SEVERE mood swings like I never imagined anybody could. This includes crying out of the blue, like a baby and there is no ceasing it. Also SEVERE angry outbursts at anyone and everyone, including towards myself, and those alike are non-stoppable. I feel evil, ashamed and remorseful, but it doesn't end. These 'swings' come and go, whenever, and have debilitated me greatly and put much stress on my relationship; they have also had an effect on how I feel about myself. I have been in treatment with a Psychiatrist and Psychologist and on medication. I have recently been diagnosed with BPD. I cannot help but wonder though if it is not more hormone related since I have never been this way before this stage of my life. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Your problem less likely due to only hormonal imbalance. At this age hormonal imbalance cause increase stress in life. Which can precipitate psychiatric illness like in your case.

In BPD patient frequently have mood swing and depressive symptoms. BPD is treated by mood stabilizers, antidepressants and antipsychotic medicines. Hope you are already on treatment.

Same time you need to wait for treatment response, as medicine take 3-4 weeks to show improvement.

Wish you good health and all the best.
