As menstruation approaches, most women feel changes in mood and physical discomfort. However, for some of PRAMITA’s friends, these symptoms can develop into something more serious and disruptive. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is that condition, which can affect emotions, energy, and even social relationships.

PMDD is not just regular discomfort. Its symptoms may include irritability, extreme fatigue, sleep disturbances, trouble concentrating, and even alarming thoughts. Some of PRAMITA’s friends may feel deeply down or lose motivation just days before menstruation begins.

What differentiates PMDD from common premenstrual complaints? The difference lies in the intensity and its impact. While common symptoms may cause slight discomfort, PMDD can significantly disrupt daily activities. Although its exact cause is still unknown, monthly hormonal changes and imbalance in emotional regulators in the brain are believed to be the main triggers.

Several factors can increase the risk of PMDD, including a history of severe stress, previous mood disorders, unhealthy lifestyle, and disturbed sleep patterns. PRAMITA’s friends who smoke or are overweight also have a higher chance of experiencing this condition.

To confirm a PMDD diagnosis, doctors usually conduct a thorough evaluation, including daily symptom tracking for two consecutive menstrual cycles. Laboratory tests may also help ensure there are no other similar conditions.

Managing PMDD can begin with simple steps. Light exercise, breathing techniques, better sleep routines, and nutritious eating are helpful in easing symptoms. However, if complaints persist, medical consultation is highly recommended so that PRAMITA’s friends can receive the appropriate care.
