Menstrual-related Mood Disorders (PMS/PMDD)
Menstrual-related mood disorders such as Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), encompass a wide variety of emotional health concerns that correlate with changes in the menstrual cycle. Symptoms of these conditions overlap and may include irritability, depression, anxiety, and fatigue. In the case of PMDD, however, they are often more severe, and patients may report suicidal or homicidal ideations. Both disorders demonstrate an improvement in symptoms after the onset of menses. Diagnosis is based off of a thorough history of symptoms as well as menstrual charting. Treatment is often centered around minimizing hormonal fluctuations, and can also include antidepressants and counseling.

“The staff is kind, welcoming, and compassionate. It is evident that a lot of thought was put into how they designed their clinic and how they welcome patients into the environment to make everything feel as inviting and safe as possible. The experience couldn’t have gone better!! If all healthcare was modeled in a similar way, the world would be a much better place. They provided atraumatic pediatric gynecological care for my 20 month old and words are not enough to express how grateful I am!!! The clinic couldn’t have a more perfect name–truly a haven for the people they care for.”
