Answers:
Only a Dr. could answer this. You can go to your OB/GYN and they can check your hormone levels to see if they are at "normal" levels. S/he will be able to tell by ALL of your symptoms (physical and mental) and get a good idea if this is having to do anything with your moods. Speak with your current Dr. and ask questions in regards to how you are feeling. If you do not feel comfortable with your diagnosis there is nothing wrong with getting a second opinion from another Psychiatrist. I am terribly sorry about your fiance'. I do hope you are feeling better soon~
