Research has shown that there are various benefits associated with hormone replacement therapy. One of the most impactful is an improvement in sleep quality. More rest translates into more energy throughout the day and also supports the body’s natural ability to heal. Hormone replacement therapy can also provide help with mood changes that are brought on by declining hormone levels. There are signs that patients who begin hormone replacement therapy experienced improvement in depressive symptoms. This is an important issue to address, and physicians who provide hormone replacement therapy can help patients determine whether counseling or other forms of therapy might also be an appropriate treatment approach.
