In this video, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA) explores how Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) can affect mental health and how individuals can find help and support.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a serious and often misunderstood condition that can cause intense emotional, cognitive, and physical symptoms linked to the menstrual cycle. While many people experience premenstrual symptoms, PMDD goes beyond typical PMS and can significantly impact daily functioning, relationships, work, and overall well-being.
In this webinar, ADAA Member Jessica Pineda, MD discusses the signs and symptoms of PMDD, the connection between hormonal changes and mental health, and evidence-based approaches for diagnosis, treatment, and support. The conversation also highlights the importance of reducing stigma and helping individuals feel seen, validated, and empowered to seek care.
