Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe and often debilitating condition that affects millions of women worldwide. Unlike typical PMS, PMDD can trigger extreme mood swings, intense depression, anxiety, rage, and overwhelming physical symptoms, making daily life feel unbearable. Despite its profound impact, PMDD remains widely misunderstood, frequently misdiagnosed, and often dismissed by medical professionals, leaving many women feeling isolated and without answers.
In this episode of The Happier Life Project, host Gabby Sanderson speaks with Sharryn Muir, a clinical psychologist who has dedicated her career to working exclusively with clients experiencing PMDD and menopause. As the founder of the Northern Psychology Centre in Australia, Sharryn has been at the forefront of educating doctors, conducting public seminars, and developing a PMDD treatment app to help women who struggle to access professional support. Her passion for this work comes from personal experience, having faced the challenges of PMDD herself.
Gabby and Sharryn explore the harsh realities of PMDD, from its severe emotional and physical toll to the frustrating lack of awareness in the medical community. They discuss who is most at risk, why so many women go undiagnosed for years, and the latest medical treatment options available, including how effective they really are. Sharryn also opens up about her own journey with PMDD, what finally helped her, and why she’s committed to breaking the stigma and ensuring better treatment for those suffering.
If you or someone you know has been affected by PMDD, or if you experience debilitating symptoms related to your menstrual cycle for half of every month, this episode offers vital insight, expert knowledge, and the reassurance that you are not alone. Tune in for an honest, informative, and much-needed conversation about a condition that deserves more recognition and support.
