Dr. Dara: Expert in Women's Mental Health for Adults

PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) involves symptoms like mood swings, bloating, and fatigue occurring before menstruation, which are typically mild and manageable. PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), on the other hand, is a more severe condition characterized by intense emotional and physical symptoms that significantly disrupt daily life. If symptoms are extreme or interfere with functioning, it may be PMDD rather than just PMS.

The Challenges of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and menopause present unique challenges that can significantly impact a woman's quality of life. PMDD, characterized by severe emotional and physical symptoms before menstruation, can disrupt daily activities and relationships. Similarly, menopause brings a host of changes, including hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances, which can create additional difficulties. Understanding and addressing these conditions is crucial for improving well-being and fostering resilience during these transitional phases.
