PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder)

PMDD is a severe form of PMS with intense mood symptoms — depression, anxiety, irritability — in the luteal phase that disrupt daily life.

It is thought to involve heightened sensitivity to normal hormone shifts rather than abnormal hormone levels.

PMDD is a recognized medical condition and should be assessed and managed with a healthcare professional.
