PMDD is a severe mood condition linked to the menstrual cycle.
Symptoms typically worsen in the one to two weeks before a period and ease once it begins. Mood changes can be dramatic and disruptive, affecting relationships, work, and self-trust.
Medication can be very effective when timed and chosen carefully. Treatment decisions depend on symptom timing, sensitivity to side effects, and overall health.
PMDD is real, treatable, and often missed.
Many women with PMDD also experience anxiety or depression outside the premenstrual window. Care adapts accordingly.
Conditions we treat
PMDD
Do mood or anxiety symptoms reliably worsen before your period?
Do you feel emotionally different during that time?
Do symptoms ease once your period starts?
Do these changes disrupt daily life or relationships?
Have you been dismissed or told it’s just hormones?
If you answered yes to even one of these, medication may be one part of a thoughtful treatment plan.
This is not a diagnosis. It’s a way to notice patterns that may be worth discussing.
