PMDD: Understanding the Impact of Severe PMS on Women's Health
PMDD: A Critical Health Challenge
PMDD, or Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, is often overlooked in discussions about women's health. While many are familiar with PMS, PMDD presents a more intense and debilitating set of symptoms. These can severely disrupt daily life, requiring a deeper level of understanding from both healthcare providers and the general public.
Recognizing PMDD Symptoms

Many women go through life unaware that these symptoms may signal PMDD. This lack of recognition can worsen the condition, leading to a feeling of isolation and dread each month.
