Mood and Hormone Balance

Meaning

Mood and hormone balance describes the clinical correlation between stable emotional states and the optimal, synchronized function of the body’s endocrine system. Hormones, including thyroid hormones, sex steroids (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), and adrenal hormones (cortisol, DHEA), exert profound regulatory control over neurochemistry and limbic system activity. Dysregulation, such as estrogen withdrawal or thyroid deficiency, is frequently implicated in symptoms of anxiety, depression, and irritability. Maintaining this balance is essential for psychological well-being.
