What Is PMDD?
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a mental health condition that causes severe emotional and physical symptoms in the days or weeks before menstruation. It is more intense than typical premenstrual syndrome and can significantly affect mood, relationships, and daily functioning.
People experiencing PMDD often feel overwhelmed, irritable, or emotionally out of control in the lead-up to their cycle, with symptoms that ease once menstruation begins. These symptoms can gradually worsen if not properly addressed.
At MIU Center, we provide compassionate and evidence-based treatment for PMDD in Maryland, helping patients manage symptoms and regain stability, clarity, and emotional balance through personalized psychiatric care.
Signs and Symptoms of PMDD
PMDD can look different for each person, but common symptoms include:

Feelings of hopelessness or anxiety
-

-
Low energy or fatigue
-
Sleep disorder (insomnia or oversleeping)
-
Changes in appetite or food cravings
