PMDD is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that can cause intense mood swings, depression, irritability, anxiety, and physical discomfort in the weeks leading up to menstruation. These symptoms often disrupt daily life, relationships, and emotional well-being. Therapy for PMDD can help individuals better understand their symptoms, develop coping strategies, and create supportive routines to manage emotional and psychological challenges. If premenstrual symptoms are significantly impacting your life, working with a therapist who understands PMDD can provide valuable support and relief.

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a challenging condition that affects some individuals in the days leading up to their periods. It goes beyond typical PMS causing intense and sometimes immobilizing symptoms like anxiety, depression, irritability, mood swings, rumination, concentration challenges, negative self-talk, insomnia, and, in severe cases, suicidal thoughts. With greater awareness and the use of distress tolerance practices, PMDD can become more manageable and less overwhelming.
