We need to talk about PMDD! Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is like PMS on steroids, it is a constellation of mood, behaviour, and very severe physical symptoms that occurs in a strong cyclical pattern after ovulation. PMDD involves changes to hormone patterns, neurotransmitters as well as the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis which then creates the hell that women can experience for half of their menstrual cycle. We’ve seen a really dramatic increase in the number of women being diagnosed with PMDD lately and we want to arm you with all the information and some practical steps to address this! Tune in now to hear Dr Andrea and Dr Ashleigh unpack everything there is to know about PMDD and don’t forget to share this with your friends who might be suffering!
