Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a serious and long-lasting illness that affects women during the luteal phase of their menstrual cycle, which is usually one to two weeks before their period. It is regarded as a more severe variant of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), characterised by strong emotional and physical symptoms. Women with PMDD have severe mood fluctuations, are irritable, anxious, and depressed, and lose interest in things they usually like doing. Some physical symptoms are tiredness, bloating, sore breasts, headaches, and trouble sleeping.

We don't know exactly what causes PMDD, but we think it has something to do with changes in hormones and brain chemicals like serotonin. Tracking symptoms over numerous menstrual cycles is how doctors figure out what's wrong. The main goal of treatment is to change the way you live, like by exercising regularly, managing stress, and eating a balanced diet. In more severe cases, doctors may give you antidepressants (SSRIs), hormonal treatments, or birth control pills to help you feel better and keep your hormones in check.
It is very important to recognise PMDD early and treat it correctly because it can greatly affect the quality of life and mental health if left untreated. Most women can manage their symptoms and stay emotionally stable throughout their cycles with the help of doctors and good ways to deal with stress.
