Depressed Mood increases risk of

Insomnia

Difficulty falling or staying asleep, often with night sweats. Its own problem, and an amplifier for every mood effect above it.

Withdrawal Syndrome

The cluster that arrives after stopping, while the natural axis is still shut down: flat mood, no drive, no libido, disturbed sleep, and in some cases suicidal thoughts. Separated from dependence because dependence is about the pull to continue and this is about what happens when you do not. It is the window in which almost all of the serious psychiatric events in the literature occur.

Depressed Mood reduces risk of

Estrogen Receptor beta

The second estrogen receptor, common in brain, bone and vascular tissue. Part of why estradiol is needed for mood, libido and bone density rather than being purely a side effect to crush.
