Hormonal imbalance

Hello, I am Sagnika. I think that I am experiencing hormonal imbalances. Can saliva sample be used to measure hormone levels? Can hormones affect my emotions?

Certain hormones like adrenal and steroid hormones can be assessed by salivary samples.
Fluctuating levels of female hormones estrogen and progesterone
can cause mood swings, low levels of serotonin cause depression, increased levels of norepinephrine cause arousal and aggression. Endorphins are associated with happy mood and oxytocin is referred to as love hormone. -
