Why Do People Get Moody During Menstruation?

Every month, your body goes through a change called the menstrual cycle. During this time, special chemicals in your body, hormones, go up and down. When these hormones drop, it can make people feel sad, angry, or even tired. That’s why some people get moody just before their period starts, it's like a little chemical rollercoaster inside the body!
