Abstract

Objectives: Etiquette and behaviour depend on hormonal ambiance. This communication renders a link between women’s behaviour which deviates from normal because of certain hormonal imbalance. Methods/Analysis: Interpretation of women’s behaviour was accomplished on the basis of existing literatures and researches. Various endogenous molecules such as serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, endorphins, prolactin and cortisol have diversified effects on mood and behaviour. Findings: The emergence of anxiety, anger, stress, depression or any psychotic change has irrefutable relationship with certain endogenous molecule. With the help of existing literatures and researches, it has been inferred that deficiency of serotonin is a leading cause of depression, while dopamine deficiency can plunk a woman into non-impulsive, emotionless behaviour. Excess of cortisol can lead to the feeling of stress while hyperprolactinemia causes prodigious production of milk even in non-pregnant and non-nursing women. It also causes disturbance in libido and irregular menstrual cycles. Endorphins are endogenous neuropeptides that reduce pain and boost pleasure. Improvement: The article apprehends a connection between conduct and hormonal framework. A healthy lifestyle can ameliorate the hormonal ambiance; thereby a break through improvement in women’s behaviour can be interposed. Keywords: Depression, Hormonal Imbalance, Libido, Stress, Women’s Behaviour

Summary

Introduction

The contingency of mood disorder in women is about two times higher than men. The underlying reality of this gender variance is not yet understood completely[1]. Earlier it was postulated that with aging people became depressed and feels loneliness In contrast it has been observed by many researchers that with aging the rational outlook towards things increases, which means that aged people have more sensible outlook than younger people. Arousal of nervous system with stimuli regulate with aging. A high degree of differences in positive arousal response in case of younger people as compared to aged people has been observed. Dopamine, endorphins, oxytocin, prolactin and cortisol regulate individual’s mood and behaviour, while gonadal hormones like estradiol and testosterone have influential role[7]. Any imbalances among those hormones can lead to profound change in behaviour
