Premenstrual disorders (like PMDD or PME) can be tricky to recognize. There isn't one significant symptom that is a tell-tale sign that you have a premenstrual disorder. In this episode, Heidi describes obstacles to recognizing you have a premenstrual disorder. 

Take Aways: 11 Obstacles

1.  Premenstrual disorder manifests as a mental health challenge
2. When you present your issues and problems to a doctor nothing stands out as a premenstrual disorder.
3. Hormone levels come back normal (because they are!)
4. There is not one test or indicator that you have PMDD or PME. 
5. Not every woman has the same indicators.
6. There is no “one size fits all” treatment.
7. Sometimes you feel great.
8. It’s hard to recognize the patterns in your own behavior that match up with PMDD or PME.
9. The symptoms of the disorder cloud your judgement.
10. Premenstrual disorders can be affected by levels of stress and responsibility making the signs and symptoms vary.
11. Your premenstrual cycle can get thrown off.
