PMS / PMDD (Premenstrual Syndrome & Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder)
What is PMS/PMDD?
PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) and PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) are conditions that affect women in the weeks leading up to their menstrual cycle. While PMS causes emotional and physical symptoms such as mood swings, irritability, and bloating, PMDD is a more severe form that significantly impacts mood, energy, and daily functioning.
PMDD can cause intense sadness, anger, anxiety, and physical discomfort that disrupts work, relationships, and overall quality of life. Though often misunderstood, these conditions are real and treatable. At Wellness Whisper Psychiatry, we offer compassionate, personalized care to help restore balance and emotional well-being.
Symptoms of PMS/PMDD?
Symptoms may vary but generally occur one to two weeks before menstruation and improve once the period begins.
Mood swings, irritability, sadness, or increased anxiety.
Bloating, headaches, breast tenderness, fatigue, or changes in appetite.
Difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances, or social withdrawal.
Intense mood instability, feelings of hopelessness, or overwhelming emotional distress.
