For women struggling with sudden onset depression, anxiety, or mood swings, this episode could be life-changing.

Danielle Stanton, a former school counselor with a master's in mental health, shares how her world turned upside down at age 39 when she began experiencing severe depression and anxiety. Despite multiple hospitalizations and numerous psychiatric medications, her condition only worsened.

The breakthrough came when a functional medicine doctor checked her hormone levels - something previous doctors had overlooked. Her progesterone and testosterone were at zero, indicating perimenopause was the root cause.

Through bioidentical hormone therapy, improved sleep habits, and targeted nutrition, she achieved complete recovery without psychiatric medications.
