Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe mood disorder that causes significant emotional, cognitive, and physical symptoms in menstruating women during the luteal phase of their menstrual cycle, leading to considerable distress and impairment. Unlike PMS, the symptoms of PMDD are profound and can include severe depression, irritability, tension, breast tenderness, and bloating, notably impacting a woman's quality of life and increasing the risk of suicidal ideation.
