Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder PMDD - PMDD Symptoms - PMDD Treatment

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder, or PMDD, is a condition that occurs just prior to menstruation and causes severe emotional problems. PMDD is characterized by significant depression, irritability, and tension. PMDD is much more severe than premenstrual syndrome, or PMS.

While PMS affects about 75% of women, PMDD affects 2%-10% of all women during their reproductive years. With treatment, the condition can be managed. Some women no longer experience any symptoms once the condition has been diagnosed and treated.
