Many relationships have been damaged by my severe PMDD along with depression, anxiety, PTSD and OCD. It's too heavy for people. So, like most heavy souls, I'm a writer. My childhood is too much for others to bear and they always leave without a thought how heavy it must be for me. So I release myself onto paper ❤

Thank you. I am doing research to understand the connection between my CPTSD and PMDD. I have been disabled for over 5 years with so many "ideas" of what was going on from so many people. I finally feel like I am on to the right answers.

I've seen a lot this one has been the most helpful for someone who wants to understand the clinical treatment in a holistic way- academically speaking

I just made the PMDD connection within the last 2 months. Every month. Same issue. Its a horrible time every month. I have been hospitalized twice because of it. My life seems out of control and I feel like there is no hope.

She is amazing and has helped me so much with my diagnosis

My problem is I don't want to be on birth control and since my tubes were cut my periods came for half of the month and had to start again. And all the whole I didn't realize my real battle is pmdd not adhd or depression most likely . I started a journal and kept hounding my husband. People root cause is very very important

Thank you So Much for this video. I suffer from depression, ptsd and anxiety and got all these diagnosises some years after I quit the birth control pill. I was so much into this 'birth control pill is worst' that I lost my focus. My symptoms get worse the last 2 weeks in the cycle and the menstrual pain is not to handle without medication . Natural progresterone made me wanna die. Ssri's alone didn't help. I needed to quit my job because of my mental health . Now I started Nextstellis and already feel more stable but if it will make me depressed or more aggressive , I will try zoely. This hole topic is so important and interesting for psychiatry. I am glad I found this video. The professor is really mind blowing in her way to see all these connections. Thanks a lot. :)

This condition is destroying my marriage. I have been married to two different people for 14 years. She refuses to get any help and I am sick of the violence and the erratic behaviour

Get your hormone levels tested before your period. Bio identical progesterone helped me. Yes

Hey guys. 25 year old woman struggling with PMDD. It effects 25 of my life. I want to know what works for you? How do you maintain a healthy relation to yourself during menstruations? How do you decrease stress and anxiety? It just overwhelms my body, it’s not even overthinking for me, it just ruins my body with pressure in solar plexus, insomnia, anxiety and paranoia. What do you guys do?

Great video, thank you! I'm curious if you know of any research about treatment of PMDD in the trans and non-binary population? Anecdotally trans men and AFAB non-binary people seem to benefit from testosterone treatment, but I've been unable to find any studies on the subject.

Today I came to know I suffer from PMDD. My life is getting worser and worser.😓😓

I wonder if the rising levels of estrogen-mimicking chemical pollution plays any part.

Supplements have helped me ten times more than birth control.

I m 47 yrs having same issues for many years. Is it safe to take pill at this age? I m premenopausal with severe symptoms of PMDD. Not able to do my job even feeling helpless at home. What to do. I took many sessions of psychologist. But nothing works. Doing yoga, trying meditation sometimes but in this phase of cycle nothing works. Even i took SSRIs but it has also side effects always feel like drowsy.

If I kept a Skyla IUD in, can I just add the estradiol patch? Can I test out the Zoely with the IUD still in?

I just wonder where are the tests of varying exercise such as weight lifting on pmdd, mine almost dissipated before this pandemic, that the minute I came into lockdowns. The anxiety and symptoms all flooded back on/off in severity but certainly noticeable sudden on off. Waking up the next day fine, day before hardly functioning. Biological I have worked on changing gene expression and neuroplasticity as first port of call. I know i've limited mine in past, by increasing cardiovascular to boost serotonin when I am most vulnerable. Certain exercise increase BDNF, and helps neural pathways. Upping magnesium, b6 and serotonin naturally have worked in past.

what about bio identical coc? or is that something big pharma is not interested in?

I don’t agree with this unfortunately. Lifestyle changes have been the ONLY thing that have helped with the RIGHT good quality supplements. I was diagnosed in 2010 and have tried everything. My pmdd is now manageable and I can function in my life again. The other point I disagree with is the speaker calling it a depression. Anyone with true PMDD will know that it’s not depression, it’s a feeling of being overwhelmed by everything then bouncing back to normal, like flicking a switch.

I have been exploring this for 22 years now in myself and was unaware earlier. I found this talk to be quite inaccurate from the number of years I have been talking with women. I feel that there are quite significantly consistent signs for PMDD and that it is not a variable as what this Dr made out. I think that if there is variability then it is more that there is something else happening like BPD, which anyone who is a high functioning Borderline will have the sudden fluctuations in coping and then not and coping again out side of the 7 to 10 days before the onset of menses with the settling into a clear mind and energy again by day two of bleeding. Any upset outside of that seems to either be inline with the average person stressing over something or if it is extreme, then it is usually more about an inability to manage stress and will have the aspect of BPD or PTSD. After the childhood trauma is dealt with, you will either notice there is not pattern in line with PMDD or that the pattern becomes really apparent in line with the pre onset to the 2 days after onset. And dIet and exercise does actually help when done right as it helps with brain function. As PMDD is more like an allergic reaction to the female hormones and not an imbalance, and poor diet is usually a part of the emotional eating or not eating, it is a contributing factor and I have observed it in myself and others. But hey, I am just a random person who loves to research and find out more about this and I am not a Dr looking at all the variables like complications with crossovers between things like ADHD, dyslexia, PTSD, BPD, etc... If not for the diagnosis from an amazing endocrinologist, psychiatrist who listened and psych nurse, I would not be the thriving person I am today. Even though a private Psych past year tried to diagnose something else within 1 session 15 years after the first diagnosis. It is challenging when mental health symptoms cross over, which is what I feel alot of the conclusions in this presentation showed. I look forward to the psych industry understanding the causes and finding solutions through the body without mucking around with hormones to do it. I am exploring nootropic stacking, which seems to be having some good results over the last few months. I am still exploring it though.

My doctor is trying anti-psychotics for my PMDD. Would you recommend this or could this be harmful?

Soy and saffron has help me feel as a treatment option, for my pmdd.

If you are on a pill for PMDD and skip your period, will you still get PMDD symptoms?

Taking Zoley for three months only, continuously? What about after three months.
