We discuss symptoms and solutions for PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) : a mood disorder that was added in 2013 to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Typically PMDD starts one to two weeks before the menses, symptoms can start as soon as after ovulation and affect all spheres of a person’s live like sleep, concentration, hunger/cravings, emotions and come with physical symptoms like swelling. This episode is a wealth of information to educate all humans who menstruate on a topic that still holds so much stigma and is not well known. Links: https://iapmd.org/provider-resources.
