Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that occurs in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, typically in the two weeks leading up to menstruation. This condition is characterized by intense emotional and physical symptoms, such as severe mood swings, irritability, depression, and physical discomfort, which can significantly disrupt daily life. These symptoms can last until the onset of menstruation, impacting overall well-being and functioning.

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder can present with a range of severe emotional and physical symptoms that significantly impact daily life. If you are experiencing any of the followings in the weeks leading up to your period, it’s important to be evaluated by a professional:
Hormonal Fluctuations: PMDD is closely linked to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. Women who are more sensitive to these hormonal shifts may experience more severe symptoms.
Serotonin Levels: Changes in brain chemicals, particularly serotonin, which helps regulate mood, may play a significant role in triggering PMDD symptoms.
Stress and Trauma: High levels of stress or a history of trauma, such as childhood abuse or neglect, can contribute to the development of PMDD.
Existing Mental Health Conditions: Women with a history of anxiety, depression, or other mood disorders are more likely to experience PMDD, as these conditions can exacerbate premenstrual symptoms.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) share similar symptoms, but PMDD is a much more severe form of PMS. While PMS is common and affects up to 75% of menstruating women, causing symptoms like mood swings, cramps, and fatigue, PMDD impacts about 3-8% of women and involves intense emotional and physical symptoms.
Key Differences:
Severity: PMDD symptoms are significantly more severe than those of PMS, often disrupting daily activities, work, and relationships.
Duration: PMDD symptoms typically occur in the week before menstruation and may last until a few days after the period begins.
Impact on Life: While PMS can cause discomfort, PMDD can lead to debilitating emotional distress, including severe mood swings, depression, and even suicidal thoughts.
Both conditions are linked to hormonal changes in the menstrual cycle, but the intensity of symptoms in PMDD often requires more comprehensive treatment, including medication and therapy.

The best treatment is typically comprised of a combination of medications and therapy. Something we frequently use is a strategy called “Luteal Phase Dosing” where we recommend the patient takes their medication only during the Luteal Phase of their menstrual cycle. Therapy is also something we recommend.
Lifestyle recommendations include regular exercise, meditation, a balanced diet, and a consistent sleep cycle.
We will always recommend a balanced diet comprised of whole foods including lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats.
