Depression
This eBook contains a wealth of information about depression. Everybody feels depressed and/or sad as a result of an external event or situation at various times in their life. To do so is perfectly natural, normal, and healthy. Such feelings of sadness may also be called “feeling blue” or “feeling low”.
However, a condition called Depression (also known as a Depressive Disorder) results when the feelings of sadness are out of proportion to events that triggered them and/or the feelings continue for a period of time which is longer than a normal, healthy recovery period. Being clinically depressed is very different from the common and fleeting feelings of sadness that people experience.

[…] Menopause can particularly affect moods in women going through that phase of their lives. Menopausal moods can be lifted by Vitamin B12 levels.

Vitamin B6 is also important and is known to help premenstrual depression, called PMS. Using any or all of the Vitamin Bs can greatly improve mood. It seems worth trying them all.
