Hormone Replacement Therapy for Anxiety

Please share if you have experience with Transdermal HRT to treat anxiety. Mainstream medical science seems to believe that a women’s hormones stabilize after menopause. I’m 67 and have gone thru 15 years of hot flashes, suddenly they stopped and coincidentally? I came down with both widespread dermatitis and very severe anxiety disorder. I have started transdermal HRT and praying that this is the source of my debilitating conditions so that I don’t have to rely on antidepressants long term.
