Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
Treatment at Behavioral Healthcare
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that can cause significant emotional and physical symptoms. At Behavioral Healthcare, we offer specialised treatment plans to help manage PMDD symptoms effectively, so you can regain control over your life.
What is Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)?
PMDD is a mood disorder related to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. It typically occurs one to two weeks before menstruation and can cause intense emotional, physical, and behavioural symptoms. Unlike typical PMS, PMDD symptoms are severe enough to interfere with daily activities, work, and relationships.
Common Symptoms of PMDD
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may be dealing with PMDD:
Sudden feelings of sadness, irritability, or anger.
Increased anxiety, nervousness, or feeling on edge.
Feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness, or sadness.
Persistent tiredness or lack of energy.
Bloating, breast tenderness, headaches, joint or muscle pain.
Difficulty sleeping or excessive sleeping.
