Hormonal alterations
Hormones play a significant role in the onset of bipolar disorder symptoms in women, particularly after menopause and childbirth. The hormonal fluctuations that occur during menstruation can contribute to a chemical imbalance in women, which can exacerbate the symptoms of bipolar disorder. In addition, women between the ages of 45 and 55 are more likely to experience depressive episodes of bipolar disorder.
