Description

In this compelling episode of Mentally Strong Mums, we bring PMDD out of the shadows. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder isn’t just ‘bad PMS’—it’s a debilitating, hormone-driven mood disorder that affects 3–8% of menstruating women, yet remains drastically underdiagnosed.

🧠 We unpack:

What PMDD really is

Why it mimics anxiety, depression, or even bipolar disorder

How it affects relationships, parenting, work, and self-worth

Why most women go undiagnosed for years

Real symptoms, real science, and real support options

Treatment options: from lifestyle to medication to therapy

How to advocate for yourself (or someone you love)

Whether you're living with PMDD, suspect you may be, or want to understand it to support a loved one—this is the episode that every woman and every mother needs to hear.
