Blue Monday:What the Saddest Day of the Year Can Teach You About Your Hormones

Mood is not only psychological. Hormonal imbalances can play a major role and they are measurable and treatable. Depression is often associated with a decline in hormone levels and the timing of your low mood can give valuable clues.

Low mood mainly in the morning?

This is frequently linked to insufficient thyroid hormones, which are essential for energy, motivation, and mental drive.

Feeling depressed all day long?

This pattern is often associated with deficiencies in sex hormones, such as estrogen, which play a key role in emotional stability and well-being.

Depression linked to stress or burnout?

In many cases, this points toward a cortisol deficiency: the hormone that helps us adapt to stress and maintain resilience.
