PMDD is the short form of premenstrual dysphoric disorder which is an acute premenstrual syndrome (PMS). It affects up to ten percent of women. Some symptoms include excessive depression, anxiety, and moodiness. Although currently a cause for this condition has not been conclusively identified, most researchers and doctors believe it results from hormonal fluctuations possibly combined with pre-existing depression or anxiety. There are several steps you can undertake to improve things.
Good Nutrition is a Good Step
