Had an early menopause during the UK lockdown start of this year. I’m 46 yrs and my mum had her menopause in her 50s. So painful as I never had the chance to have a baby. Didn’t meet the right guy at the right time. Had huge mood swings past 2yrs from low oestrogen and huge hair loss. Hope for all of us that 2021 brings better things. Thanks for all your good work Kati ☺️🇬🇧

[@Katimorton]

I’m so sorry you had to go through that.. and hoping that 2021 brings us all better things ❤️❤️❤️

I love how informative and intelligent Jo the aesthetician is 🙌

[@kdalfndnfdjsf1702]

I thought the same! 🤍

[@Katimorton]

I know right?!?! She is amazing!! xoxo

[@kdalfndnfdjsf1702]

So excited about this series! I got very bad hormonal acne from quitting the pill a couple years ago. Hormones definitely play a huge part in skin health! 🤍

[@Katimorton]

Yes!! Omg I didn't realize how much of a role they play!! I hope you are finding it helpful and informational :) xoxo

[@freyab5066]

i just got the nexplanon implant taken out (progesterone only) and i feel like i can FINALLY think clearly !!! i had no idea how much it would affect my mood, depression and anxiety !!

[@AG-nn8lp]

This is progestin and not progesterone. Progesterone does not act anything like progestin which is toxic.

[@erikal1593]

Your skin is glowing! You look great!

[@Katimorton]

Awe thanks :) xoxo

[@sortingoutsimpson3664]

This is SO great! As someone with multiple autoimmune diseases and PCOS, I suffer from acne. I'll be heading to a specialist and getting a facial on my channel also! So great to see the medical behind everything! I LOVE your channel!

[@jackiek4159]

This whole episode is sooo informative and educational! I've always wanted to know why I've currently got melasma too! Loved it! 🙌🏻

[@NiinaSKlove]

Oh, how exciting! Looking forward to the next episode 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@rafaelmendoza9315]

This is really useful!! Thank you for sharing this with us. Although we've always been told that hormones has something to do with our skin and mental health this video explain and summarize the hole thing very well. Saludos!!

[@Its.Mai.]

I find it so important to spread information about hormones and mental health so thank you for explaining how they work. I personally suffer from highly increased anxiety and sometimes depression the week before my period and during it. I was only able to detect the timing once my anxiety started being less regular/intense, as I used to feel it every day, and was able to see the correlation. My OB-GYN gave me birth control pills and the symptoms went away. Before that I had no idea that hormones were related to mental health. Even when I still struggle, it has helped me a lot. It took me almost ten years to know this, I hope this comment helps others seek help soon.

[@CatalinaGeorge]

It has been so useful to hear about the hormones and be more conscious about what they do, right as I am getting at that time of the month and feeling a bit unsettled and tired. The aesthetician is amazing! People who are able to explain that well the procedures they will use to help you are true professionals. I have had doctors talk to me like that and that caring confidence just helps you as a patient a lot!

[@kayleighdittemore8352]

You look extra beautiful in this video, Kati! ❤️

[@petra_uhrakova]

I quit birth control after 4 months of using it. That trash was making me go full Kanye West and I was depressed all the time (I’ve had past experience with manic depression). My skin got so bad and I felt miserable. Now I’m 1 month clean and I feel so much better.

[@kdalfndnfdjsf1702]

I also experienced hormonal acne after quitting. Sadly it's quite common. Happy that you feel better now! (I sorta cleared up my skin with introducing chemical peels & niacinamide but still get the ocassional hormonal pimple)

[@Katimorton]

I am so sorry it affected you that way.. I had a bad experience too. Glad you're feeling better :) xoxo

[@petra_uhrakova]

@@kdalfndnfdjsf1702 I hope your skin is gonna get better soon too! ❤️ Also, zinc cream can help with scar healing and itchiness, if you’re experiencing that as well. :) My BC had the smallest amount of hormones possible, but it still affected me so bad.

[@petra_uhrakova]

@@Katimorton Thank you Kati, I appreciate your reply. 💗

[@gonshakule]

Hello Kati! Do you think PTSD can mess up with progesterone level? you were talking about how progesterone affects rational thinking and mood swings. I have PTSD and having issue with mensuration for long time now (PMS and 2weeks long periods). I started birth control pill that have progesterone and estrogen and I feel fantastic while taking the pill but one of the doctor told me that person with migraine taking estrogen can increase the risk of stroke (I have migraine about 10times in a month). So I am planning to switch to minipill (progesterone only pill) but I really don’t want to have anymore issues.

[@thehealingfairee]

Yes! I have a video about how the subconscious mind works, PTSD stored in the subconscious affects your whole body, including hormone balance!

[@Katimorton]

I haven't read too much research on it but because our stress response (which is activated frequently when we have PTSD) causes our body to release a lot of cortisol, oxytocin, and adrenaline (all hormones) so it will increase those, which I would assume (because it's all a balance) it could affect our other hormones (like progesterone ) as well. xoxo

[@sayusayme7729]

I had very similar experience when menstruating. 60 now and have a brain aneurysm. Always struggling with mood. Ugh Could not take birth control as it caused gallbladder failure at young age. Small print Severe PMS and cramping. Wish I had this information back when So helpful.

[@gonshakule]

@@sayusayme7729 Hello, thank you for the reply and sharing your story! I have a question about your experience. May I ask you if you had gallbladder issue because of the birth control pill? I have removed my gall bladder (due to gall stone) when I was 17 or so and I was and am taking birth control pill now as well. So I am curious if I am in similar situation as you are.

[@TheGatewayProductions]

Great video! They should teach the importance of mental health in schools. Well done!

[@gwenbarrett1486]

Yes help the pmdd. Mine was mistaken for Bpd and everything else.

[@sl3772]

I've had extreme anxiety since 2018 and I FINALLY started to take something for it and my skin has cleared up from acne. I always had pretty clear skin so it confused me that I started getting acne at 28, and now it's going away finally. Totally unexpected that my mental health was the cause of my skin. I thought they just both happened around the same time not believing it was related.

[@nikkimckay860]

Kati Morton. thank you for sharing this video it was very interesting and calming also loads of advice and important skin care its helpful to find out about your skin just to add I think you have nice skin always thought you was pretty I was relaxed while I watched 😊

Awe thanks Nikki. So glad you liked it 😘🥰

[@happylindsay4475]

Thank you for this series!!!

You are so welcome!

[@happylindsay4475]

@@Katimorton I wanted to say for a while now, your use of inclusive language ( “we”) your positivity and your willingness to share your vulnerability makes your channel a stand out and goes a long way towards reshaping the language used to describe mental health conditions. Thank you so much. Look forward to your upcoming episodes. 😊

[@travelbug4536]

Last week, I thought I was losing my mind. It was low progesterone. Ordered progesterone cream and thank God I am feeling human again after two years (probably many more) of misery. Great talk by Dr. Lee on progesterone on KZbin.

[@crimsonkiten5882]

My cycle is all over the place not only because I started cycling later than most (15 y/o) but I also have hydrocephalus meaning I sometimes need brain surgery to regulate csf flow. I used to visit an endocrinologist but thankfully have since been dismissed bc my health has been good enough to do so.

[@Katimorton]

I am so glad your health has been good.. hopefully it stays that way :) xoxo

[@femke97]

@Crimson Kiten Wait, does hydrocephalus have something to do with the cycle being all over the place? I hydrocephalus and never have had a regular cycle🙈

[@ashleyrendon6539]

I thought this was informative. Two years ago I had my IUD removed and it left me with bad depression and anxiety, and first time dealing with panic attacks; I had no idea what was going on with my mental health. I was going through a hormonal imbalance and dealing with recent trauma too. My old therapist said I was dealing with anxiety (she was informed that I was dealing with an hormonal imbalance too) and started doing EMDR, and it was the worse session ever. The combination on EMDR and hormonal imbalance sent me down a spiral.

[@geotheleo2716]

Hi

[@Mattdewit]

I have GHD so I can relate, it is so rare most psychologists don't know it

[@Aliyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

So what's the benefit of the surgery sory?

[@jgivingallshesgot]

I’ve had melasma for about 10yrs now. I’ve tried microneedling, IPL, and topical creams. Unfortunately, nothing fixes the problem.

[@christym.6529]

Oh my goodness you were talking to Mama Doctor Jones. I follow her. She is so funny & informative on her channel. 😩😊

[@rubyanaya126]

Thank you ☺️

[@AG-nn8lp]

Melasma does not go away. Ifbit does it comes back. It is hormonal. I was on progestin only bc and got melasma

[@yamileblanco736]

I did a couples of microneedle and no help with Melasma. Hope it works for you....checking my hormones this week.. i have not taken birth control.

[@yamileblanco736]

I do need to fix my diet 180 degrees and NO coffee.......

[@madzombiebaby]

doesn't cortisol affect our mood as well? or do you only mean sex hormones?

[@arianajuarez2064]

Plastic surgeons and estheticians will tell you melasma is an inflammatory condition and then turn around and suggest an inflammatory-inducing procedure. This procedure is not recommended for melasma, but the mandelic acid she used is ok.

Trans rights 👀

[@steruset3590]

Kati has said trans rights multiple times lol

[@GreenAppleFields9]

Hi Kati, please consider using more inclusive language going forward, e.g. saying "these things happen usually in people assigned female/male at birth" instead of saying men/women, and avoid saying things like "in women's ovaries", rather just say "in ovaries" which is just as clear and more inclusive. Thank you!
