Yes, it is true for some women. Quite simply it's to do with hormones.

It's not really a mental issue; but one of hormones. Some women are moody a few days prior to menstruation; some are moody during that time. It depends on the woman herself.
A lot of women don't realise they're being moody. If it gets out of hand, consultation with a Dr. is a good idea.

I had a procedure done a couple of months ago called and endometrial ablation. Basically, my uterus was filled with boiling water to create scar tissure. My periods were lasting two weeks and longer. Now, I barely spot. The reason I am telling you this is, hormonally , nothing has changed, so I still have PMS and cravings and moodiness. I have to look at my calendar to see if these things happend around the time that I should be having a period and it usually is. A good friend of mine says, "You women got the short end of the stick. You need to re-negotiate your contracts.!

Its hormonal. Estrogen fades as a woman gets ready to start a period. Estrogen helps keep insulin under control. Insulin, thus, can go wild. The purpose of insulin is to open the "cell's mouths" to let food and water in. Thus, right before a period, insulin is madly tucking food and water in cells, causing bloating and weight gain, which can lead to mood swings.
The food insulin tucks in cells is blood glucose. If insulin tucks in too much glucose (a condition known as hyperinsulinemia), it can result in there being too little blood glucose in the blood stream for the rest of the body to use during the day (a condition known as hypoglycemia). If the brain senses a low blood sugar condition, it requests food, lots of it, high carb food like chocolate and potato chips and french fries and such.
That is why women may have binges before their periods.

Women are very hormonal and it does affect their mental state during menstruation. Yes, we women can become very sad, very unhappy, and very many other things,

Not necessarily but one need not be surprised if one faces such a situation. Stomach cramps are not uncommon but one can cure it by taking a pain killer. Menstruation is part of the process of the physiological growth of a person and there is nothing to be afraid or ashamed of. This cyclical occurrence in a way allows release of toxins from one's body. It is also a sign of one attaining womanhood - a welcome development indeed!

Hormonal changes can cause mood swings, depression, acceleration and so on. Some people (women) suffer with chronic symptoms, and others hardly notice any change. Just like cramps-some women get them, some don't. Each woman is unique to each situation.

Just the inconvenience is enough to effect the attitude, but hormones are at different levels at the time. That can make mood swings happen.

Yes. Hormones increase emotions.
