Would be curious to know opinion of knowledgeable people here on a provocative statement, that women's depression in later life is largely caused by estrogen deficiency at menopause. This statement is made in this new book, and if correct, it may suggest a simple approach to depression treatment:

From book description:
"Research has shown a strong connection between estrogen levels and depression throughout a woman's lifetime. We now understand that abrupt hormonal changes can take a toll on women's moods and even cause serious depression. But the good news is that there is a lot women can do to moderate the effect of these changes."

Please advise. Thanks.
Just reading the news this morning has angered me greatly. They now claim that HRT is not as bad as they thought so are now recommending it again! I took HRT for 15 years without any problems. Then my doctor took me off of it because it was understood it was bad for your heart etc. I went through 5 years of Hell with depression and mood swings and still have hot flashes sometimes. I work in the health/ vitamin industry and have many customers who say the same thing. Some of them refused to go off the HRT. I wish I had now. There are natural helps for menopause but none as effective as HRT
