What is pmdd?
PMDD, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome that causes depression, anxiety, irritability and other symptoms in the week or two before a period. People search what it is, its symptoms and treatments, and forums, including partners looking for help. In practice it is treated with antidepressants, hormonal options and lifestyle changes, and many people go undiagnosed for years. The searches point to a strong need for information and community, which suits cycle-tracking apps, support communities and women's mental health services, with care around medical claims.
