Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome that
affects emotional well-being, energy levels, and physical comfort in the days leading up to
your period. While many women experience PMS, PMDD causes symptoms that are far more
intense and disruptive. At My Lady Business, Dr. Tina Marie specializes in identifying and treating
the hormonal imbalances that contribute to PMDD — helping women find emotional stability
and physical relief naturally.
What Is PMDD?
PMDD occurs when the normal hormonal shifts of the menstrual cycle — particularly changes
in estrogen, progesterone, and serotonin — cause extreme mood and physical symptoms.
These hormonal fluctuations can significantly affect neurotransmitters in the brain, leading to
heightened emotional sensitivity, anxiety, irritability, and even depression.
Common Symptoms of PMDD:
• Severe mood swings or irritability
• Anxiety, panic, or feelings of being overwhelmed
• Depression or emotional withdrawal
• Difficulty concentrating or brain fog
• Fatigue or low energy levels
• Bloating, breast tenderness, or headaches
• Cravings for sugar or carbohydrates
• Disrupted sleep or insomnia
What Causes PMDD?
While the exact cause can vary, PMDD is largely driven by how a woman’s body and brain
respond to normal hormonal changes throughout the menstrual cycle. Underlying factors may
include:
• Sensitivity to progesterone and estrogen fluctuations
• Low serotonin levels (the “feel-good” neurotransmitter)
• Chronic stress and elevated cortisol
• Thyroid or adrenal imbalances
• Nutritional deficiencies (especially B vitamins, magnesium, and vitamin D)
