Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)

My daughter was diagnosed with PMDD and she has the exact same symptoms as you! Please go to the GP and ask to see a psychiatrist.
Yep! I have it. I took 4 months worth of tracking my emotions and periods to the gp they agreed gave me medication it's not helped though. I get between 8/14 good days out the month 😪
@Ebony what does your doctor prescribe you?
@Sulekha I need to I already see my therapist, but now I’m at the point where I need some type of medication I just don’t know what to take
@Patty I was on sertraline 50mg and never needed to up it. I've been on both the pill and the mini pill and found the mini pill better especially since I had lots of issues with high BP
@liayhanah yes I noticed it in Nov it’s been an emotional roller coaster since then
@Ebony thank you
@Patty they will experiment with birth control and see which one works best. None of the options have worked for my daughter so far but worth seeing what works for you. I'm so sorry you are experiencing this though, it's tough seeing it let alone going through it!
Thank you, and yes, I will definitely ask my MD when I see her in a few weeks. See what she recommends.
@Iiayhanah when you tracked everything, did you journal daily? What was your process?
My depression has always been worse around my periods. My GP prescribed me antidepressants and the pill to help manage it and I found it really helpful
