In this episode we welcome Dr. Alison McAllister & Kate A. Placzek to talk about PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder). Per Dr. Alison McAllister's article on PMDD (found here) PMS symptoms can range from abdominal pain to mood issues, and if they are severe enough to cause functional impairment and interfere with life’s normal activities, they can be classified as PMDD. PMDD is a luteal phase-specific syndrome on the severe end of the PMS spectrum. Approximately 3-8% of menstruating women suffer from the same constellation of symptoms as PMS but experienced at a much higher intensity. Kate and Alison break down the science around our menstrual cycles, mood, and what's happening to our hormones during our cycles.
