FAQ

What is PMDD and how is it different from PMS?

PMS includes mild premenstrual symptoms. PMDD involves more severe mood and functional impairment in the week before menstruation, often requiring clinical support. Tracking cycle phase and symptoms helps discussions with your clinician.

Can diet affect PMDD?

Blood sugar swings, caffeine, and alcohol affect some people’s mood and sleep in the luteal phase. A food and mood journal can reveal personal patterns — not a substitute for medical care.
