From abdominal cramps to mood swings, that âtime of the monthâ can cause our bodies to experience lots of changes. And for some people, a more severe set of symptoms can emerge in the form of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
PMDD is a form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that can make it harder for people to work, socialise and have healthy relationships.
âIt is a condition that lies within the spectrum of premenstrual disorders and is defined by the recurrence of severe and at times debilitating depressive mood symptoms â such as mood changes, irritability, anxiety, apathy or depression â which occur around the time of your period,â explains Dr Tiffany Pham, OB-GYN and Medical Advisor at Flo Health (flo.health).
âThese symptoms usually start before your period in the luteal phase of your menstrual cycle, and typically resolve after your period starts.â
One person who has been affected by PMDD is Vicky Pattison, who has been open about her experience over the years. In an Instagram post, the former Geordie Shore star explained how she spent âhalf the month lostâ and that she felt âdepressed, despondent and hopelessâ prior to her diagnosis.
âPMDD is the most severe form of PMS and is characterised by significant mood symptoms. The feeling of anxiety and depression is more intense, and some women may even feel suicidal,â says Dr Claire Phipps, GP and advanced menopause specialist at London Gynaecology (london-gynaecology.âcom).
