I am in the menopause but my doctor has said that I could be bipolar. Can you advise me? I was a very even mood person before I hit the menopause help!!

The menopause can cause mood changes which can be quite upsetting, however, you need to ask your doctor for a referral to get a proper diagnosis, not just go on what he thinks it might be!

Unfortunately, a lot of doctors just assume that there is a separate problem when, in fact, it is being caused by the hormonal changes and it is this that needs supporting in some way.
