PMDD And Depression In Women
Most women have some degree of physical or emotional symptoms tied to their menstrual cycles. These symptoms are commonly present five days before the onset of a period and end within a day or two of the period starting. However, for between 5 and 10 percent of menstruating women, the symptoms are so severe that they interfere with daily life. If this sounds like you, you may be suffering from Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). Symptoms of PMDD are similar to those of PMS, except there are often a greater number of symptoms with a much higher severity. Among these, women with PMDD may experience:
● Mood swings
● Depressed moods or feelings of hopelessness
● Significant anger
● Tension or anxiety or irritability
● Decreased interest in usual activities
● Fatigue or changes in sleep patterns
● Change in appetite
