This condition is not a psychiatric condition although the severity may be such that it appears to be psychiatric. The procedure either cuts off blood supply to the ovaries lowering progesterone levels or damages the progesterone receptors. You can be treated with natural progesterone. I was told this would solve my problems. The hysterectomy lowered your progesterone level.
Low progesterone causes depression in women.
My doctor has put me on premarin and provera even though they have been directly linked with breast cancer. Your doctor doesn't know about natural hormones. He thinks that the breast cancer risk is worth the benefits of the synthetic hormone replacement. However, the provera negates the heart benefits of the estrogen. Provera is directly linked to breast cancer.
