Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe, cyclical mood condition tied to the menstrual cycle. It goes far beyond typical PMS, often bringing intense irritability, depression, and anxiety in the days before menstruation.
Because symptoms come and go, PMDD is frequently misunderstood or dismissed. Tracking your symptoms across a couple of cycles can be a powerful first step toward getting the right care.
Effective treatments exist, from lifestyle strategies to medication. If your mood shifts feel unmanageable each month, you deserve support.
