How long do menopause mood swings last?

The timing of increased or more intense mood swings is unpredictable. If you are experiencing these as a disruptive symptom of perimenopause, you are not alone. It is clear that mood swings become more common and are often accompanied by intense emotional changes and outbursts, starting when a woman enters the menopausal transition. Mood swings and emotional changes do level out and calm down once estrogen levels stabilize in menopause, indicating that it is the change in estrogen levels, not absolute estrogen levels that impact mood and emotions.
