It's been a while since I've had a conversation with another woman in her menopause life stage.

About 10 months ago, Tarryn accidentally went viral on TikTok with a clip about her perimenopause journey—because apparently, the universe thought she hadn’t had enough surprises for one lifetime. Fuelled by a desire to make sure other women didn’t face the same blindsiding, she kept the conversation going, mixing in her own life stories, quirks, and a healthy dose of self-deprecating humour.

Tarryn’s unfiltered honesty and willingness to show off her imperfections have turned her into the relatable, ‘so-not-Instagram’ character that women didn’t know they were missing. After all, who wants perfect when you can have real?

PMDD - Pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder, can affect up to 20% of the female population yet very little is known about it.

Many of us can attest to PMS symptoms throughout our monthly cycles and 1 in 5 women may be experiencing hormonally driven symptoms that can seriously impact their quality of life.

I spoke with Dr Ceri Cashell, MBCHB MRCP MRCGP FRACGP, GP Principal (Avalon Family Medical Practice) in Australia about PMDD.

The questions I asked her:

1. What is PMDD and how is it diagnosed?

2. When it comes to menopause, how does PMDD affect women?

3. What are your top recommendations to support women who might be struggling with PMDD and in menopause? 

I hope this episode helps someone looking for answers.
