- Abstract
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a disabling condition that affects women of reproductive age. It is not frequently conversed, is often mistaken for Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) or can be misdiagnosed due to its array of symptoms and periodicity. Women experience severe and distressing symptoms which can lead to dysfunction. PMDD symptoms usually begin around the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and reduce upon menstrual bleeding. Treatment options include diet and lifestyle modification, medication and psychological interventions. This article aims to review the condition and treatments options that are available.
