Dr. Dunnewold:

Many women who have depression or anxiety have symptoms all month long. To strictly define PMDD you should have part of the month where you’re free of symptoms, so that’s really the distinction. But again, many women who have depression and anxiety have PMS worsening, those feelings will get stronger pre-menstrually but they’re never really gone.
