Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) are both conditions that occur prior to the menstrual period. However, there are significant differences between the two. Symptoms of PMS are generally mild to moderate and may include bloating, breast tenderness, mood swings, irritability, and fatigue. These symptoms may cause some discomfort but typically do not significantly impair daily functioning.
PMDD involves more severe and disruptive symptoms that significantly impact a person's quality of life and ability to function. Symptoms can include severe mood swings, irritability, depression, anxiety, anger, fatigue in addition to the physical symptoms in PMS. These symptoms occur consistently in the two weeks before menstruation and improve within a few days after the period starts.
Overall, while both PMS and PMDD involve symptoms that occur before menstruation, PMDD is characterized by more severe and debilitating symptoms that significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life. It is essential for individuals experiencing severe premenstrual symptoms to seek evaluation and treatment from a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate management approach.

The data we have on the use of many psychiatric medications is reassuring, but it's essential for you to have a thorough discussion with both a provider trained in perinatal psychiatry and an OB-GYN. This collaborative approach ensures that all aspects of your mental health and pregnancy are carefully considered. Untreated mental health issues can lead to various complications, affecting both your pregnancy and your well-being, including risks of pregnancy and maternal complications, long-term infant health issues, and postpartum depression and anxiety. Perinatal psychiatric treatment can help mitigate these risks, supporting a healthier pregnancy and postpartum period. Your mental health matters, and prioritizing it isn't just important for you but also for your baby's well-being. Our goal is to provide you with the information and support you in making the best decision for you and your baby.

While we don't conduct hormone testing as part of my psychiatric practice, it's typically best left to OB/GYN specialists who specialize in hormone-related issues. They have the expertise and resources to conduct comprehensive hormone testing and provide appropriate management based on the results. However, we’re here to support you in addressing any mental health concerns you may have, and we can work collaboratively with your OB/GYN to ensure comprehensive care.
