in the treatment of women with PMDD. Other limited studies suggest that cognitive approaches can be useful in helping to reduce premenstrual symptoms.

Talk Therapy with a trained professional provides the opportunity to explore and shift perspectives allowing you to put things in their proper places. This is difficult to do when in the midst of emotional wackiness caused by PMS. You can’t plead PMS away but you can live quite well with it. Combine Talk Therapy with CBT approaches and you have a winning game.

Talk therapy can help you manage your emotional symptoms!

CBT is often combined with “Talk Therapy”. A recent study found that Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) was as effective as fluoxetine (20 mg daily),
