We've all heard of PMS, but have you heard of PMDD?

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is more than "bad PMS." It can cause severe emotional and physical symptoms, like depression and intense headaches, that typically occur during the days before a period and improve after menstruation begins. Because symptoms follow a monthly pattern, tracking your cycle can help you identify changes so you can discuss your concerns with a healthcare provider. Understanding your cycle can provide valuable insight into your overall health. Source: Cleveland Clinic PMDD symptoms | PMS vs PMDD | premenstrual dysphoric disorder | cycle tracking | period health
