PMS is extremely common. About 1 in 4 women experience bloating, mood swings, fatigue or breast tenderness in the days before their period. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a more severe form that affects about 2–5% of women, and it's defined by intense emotional symptoms like severe irritability, anxiety, depression or feeling completely out of control, to the point where it seriously interferes with your relationships and daily life. If your premenstrual symptoms feel overwhelming and not just "annoying," talk to your OB-GYN. They can help with everything from lifestyle changes to medications like SSRIs or hormonal options that can make a difference in your quality of life.
