Pre Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder is what I got diagnosed with after 15 years of battling with my mental health. It is the reason why I became The Period PT and started The Period Pod. And whilst these are things I am very thankful for, the PMDD monster still takes over each month. In this episode I will briefly outline what this disorder means and I will share my story and how I cope with it.
