I am 45 years old and every month I go crazy. I think I need to be locked up in a loony bin. Is the change responsible for my mood swings?

If you are still getting your periods regularly every month and the emotional upheaval is your only symptom, it may not be the menopause.

PMS is more likely - and this is worse if you are stressed. Try taking a magnesium supplement (Salus Haus liquid magnesium is very good) and a course of Stress Relief Daytime - this reduces your emotional mayhem.
