Hormonal changes can greatly affect teenage girls' moods and behaviors from "summary" of In the Mind of a Teenage Girl by Ruby Freedman

It is crucial to understand that the teenage years are a time of significant change, both physically and emotionally. Hormonal fluctuations play a key role in these changes, particularly for girls. These hormonal shifts can have a profound impact on teenage girls' moods and behaviors, often leading to mood swings, irritability, and heightened emotional responses. During adolescence, girls experience an increase in estrogen and progesterone levels, which can influence their emotional well-being. These hormones can affect neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin and dopamine, which are linked to mood regulation. As a result, teenage girls may feel more easily overwhelmed or reactive to stressors in their environment. Moreover, hormonal changes can also impact teenage girls' behavior. For example, fluctuating hormones can lead to changes in appetite, sleep patterns, and energy levels. This can contribute to mood disturbances, such as irritability or feelings of fatigue. Additionally, hormonal imbalances may influence decision-making and impulse control, potentially leading to risky behaviors or conflicts with authority figures. It is important for parents, educators, and healthcare providers to recognize the impact of hormonal changes on teenage girls' mental health. By acknowledging these hormonal influences, adults can better support and empathize with teenagers as they navigate the challenges of adolescence. Open communication, a non-judgmental attitude, and access to mental health resources can make a significant difference in helping teenage girls cope with their changing moods and behaviors.
