Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder: A Guide
(below is the second excerpt from the guide)
Is PMDD the same as PMS?
PMDD is generally thought to be an extreme form of PMS (premenstrual syndrome).
Upwards of 75% of women have some physical and/or emotional symptoms before
their periods that could be considered PMS. For most women, PMS symptoms
cause only mild to moderate discomfort that requires little or no treatment.
Far fewer women, perhaps 3% to 8%, have severe, disabling, disruptive
premenstrual symptoms that include depression, anxiety, and irritability.
These women have a treatable medical disorder known as premenstrual dysphoric
disorder or PMDD.
