PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), a severe and debilitating form of PMS, affects both the menstrual cycle and mental health. It goes beyond the typical symptoms of PMS, leading to intense mood swings, depression, and anxiety, which can significantly interfere with daily life.

Can you recall the moment you first became aware that your menstrual cycle had such a profound impact on your mental health? How did it shape your understanding of your overall well-being?

What is PMDD?

PMDD, a severe manifestation of PMS, affects approximately 1/20 women. It’s characterized by frequent mood swings, irritability, and even depression related to the hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. PMDD can interfere with relationships, work performance, and general wellbeing. A diagnosis usually requires episodes of PMDD focused symptoms for at least two months before an accurate diagnosis can be made.

Symptoms

PMDD can cause both emotional and physical symptoms that can significantly interfere with one’s life. PMDD symptoms may include:

Mood swings (e.g. sudden sadness or tearfulness, sensitivity to rejection)
Irritability, anger, or increased inner conflicts
Depressive mood, feelings of hopelessness, feeling worthless or guilty
Anxiety, tension, or feelings of being keyed up or tense
Decreased interest in usual activities (e.g. work, school, friends, hobbies)
Difficulty concentrating, focusing, or thinking; brain fog
Fatigue or lack of energy
Changes in appetite, cravings for food, overeating or binge-eating
Hypersomnia (excessive sleepiness) or insomnia (difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep)
Feeling overwhelmed or out of control.
Physical symptoms such as sore breasts or swelling, joint or muscle pain, bloating, headaches, etc.
If you find yourself relating to this, it's crucial to bring it up with a doctor.

Causes of PMDD

PMDD is a neuro-endocrine illness characterized by the brain's heightened sensitivity to hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle. It is believed that women with PMDD have normal levels of estrogen and progesterone, but their brains react excessively to the natural changes in these hormone levels.

Living with PMDD can be incredibly challenging, and it can feel like there is little hope for relief.

However, it is important to remember that you are not alone, and there are options available to help manage your symptoms.

The lack of scientific research on PMDD may be discouraging, but know that there is a growing community of support and resources to help you.

With the right support and treatment, many women with PMDD have found significant improvement in their quality of life.

You deserve to live with comfort and ease, and it is possible with the right resources and care.

The treatment of PMDD may include a combination of medications, lifestyle changes, and psychotherapy. Some of the most common treatments for PMDD include:

1) Hormonal birth control: This can regulate hormonal levels and alleviate PMDD symptoms.

2) Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): These are commonly prescribed for their ability to regulate mood and have been shown to be effective in managing PMDD symptoms (although not for all women!).

3) Lifestyle changes: This may include reducing stress through exercise and relaxation techniques, improving sleep, and maintaining a healthy diet.

4) Psychotherapy: Cognitive behavioral therapy can help women with PMDD by addressing negative thought patterns and improving coping mechanisms.
In rare cases, premature menopause or surgical options such as hysterectomy may be considered if other treatments are not effective.

It is important to work with a healthcare provider to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs and circumstances, as each individual may respond differently to different treatments.

PMS Coach app is coming soon!! 🚀

I’ve been slightly less active on Instagram over the past few weeks. I’ve mainly been working on the final adjustments to the PMS Coach app.

My partner and I started this project based on our own experiences and numerous conversations with women suffering from PMS and PMDD. From there, we developed a menstrual tracker that guides you through your cycle and helps you manage the severe mental symptoms associated with PMS and PMDD, such as anxiety, depression, sadness, doubt, etc.

The app is almost ready for launch! We are making the final adjustments. Soon, you will be able to find it in the App Store and Google Play Store.

I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has tested the app and provided suggestions. You’ve also helped identify critical errors in the app. Such an app couldn’t exist without you. Thank you!

If you would like to stay informed about the launch of the PMS Coach app, please leave your email address via the website www.pms.coach! (If you haven’t already ☺️)
