Understanding Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) share similar symptoms to depression but unlike depression, symptoms typically improve once menstruation begins. It’s important to correctly distinguish between PMS and PMDD because misdiagnosis is common and untreated symptoms can have a huge impact on quality of life.
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) affect millions of women worldwide, yet many still misunderstand these conditions or dismiss their symptoms as "just hormones." While PMS and PMDD share some symptoms with depression and anxiety, their unique patterns and underlying causes set them apart making accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment essential for improving quality of life.
What Are PMS and PMDD?
PMS refers to a cluster of physical and emotional symptoms that typically occur in the luteal phase (the two weeks before menstruation) and improve once your period starts. Common symptoms include mood swings, irritability, fatigue, bloating, breast tenderness, and headaches.
PMDD, on the other hand, is a more severe form of PMS affecting approximately 3-8% of menstruating women. It includes intense mood disturbances such as severe depression, anxiety, anger, and feelings of hopelessness, which can significantly disrupt daily functioning and relationships.
Why PMS and PMDD Are More Than “Just Hormones”
Women are two to three times more likely to experience mood disorders such as depression and anxiety compared to men, largely due to the influence of fluctuating reproductive hormones like estrogen and progesterone. These hormones affect brain chemicals such as serotonin and GABA, which regulate mood and anxiety.
PMS and PMDD are not just about “feeling moody.” They cause a range of physical and emotional symptoms that impact your ability to work, socialise, and maintain healthy relationships. Because symptoms often overlap with other conditions such as clinical depression, anxiety disorders, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or even thyroid imbalances PMS and PMDD are frequently misdiagnosed or overlooked, especially in teenagers and younger women.
The Hidden Cost of Misdiagnosis
Misdiagnosing PMS or PMDD as simply “normal” hormonal fluctuations or mental health disorders delays effective treatment and prolongs suffering. Untreated PMDD can lead to severe emotional distress, increased risk of suicidal thoughts, and reduced quality of life. Understanding that these symptoms stem from hormonal dysregulation is key to finding relief.
Why PMS and PMDD Symptoms Are NOT Normal
Despite how common PMS and PMDD symptoms are, they should never be accepted as “just part of being a woman.” There is a clear and direct connection between hormonal imbalance and mental health. Symptoms like mood swings, anxiety, irritability, fatigue, bloating, and breast tenderness indicate that your body is out of balance and requires targeted support, not resignation.
Natural and Holistic Approaches to PMS and PMDD Relief
As a Clinical Naturopath specialising in women’s hormone health, my approach is to identify and treat the root causes of PMS and PMDD through:
- Comprehensive health assessments including menstrual history, lifestyle, and stress levels
- Functional pathology testing to evaluate hormone levels, nutrient deficiencies, and digestive health
- Evidence-based nutritional and herbal medicine to balance hormones and ease symptoms
- Tailored dietary and lifestyle strategies focusing on gut health, blood sugar balance, stress management, and sleep quality
Every woman’s hormonal journey is unique, so treatment plans are personalised to meet your individual needs.
The Goal: Restore Balance and Reclaim Your Life
Improving your overall health can be one of the most effective ways to reduce premenstrual symptoms and support emotional wellbeing. With targeted naturopathic care, you can:
- Stabilise mood swings and reduce anxiety
- Alleviate physical symptoms such as bloating, breast tenderness, and cramps
- Boost energy and reduce fatigue
- Improve focus, mental clarity, and resilience to stress
If you’re ready to move beyond coping with PMS or PMDD and want to reclaim your energy, mood, and quality of life naturally, expert, compassionate support is available.
