Description
Bethany Sander, Jennifer Gordon, and Erin Brennand summarize premenstrual dysphoric disorder for clinicians, in this 2024 review. The condition affects two to five percent of menstruating people, bringing mood, thinking, and body symptoms in the phase between ovulation and bleeding. Ovarian hormone swings trigger it, and sufferers face higher rates of suicidal thoughts than others. Symptoms vanish in pregnancy and after menopause, though the change of life can worsen them first.
Diagnosis demands prospective tracking: patients chart symptoms daily across at least two cycles, because memory alone misleads. Five or more symptoms, including at least one mood symptom, make the case. A clear clinical summary like this helps front-line doctors separate the disorder from ordinary premenstrual complaints and from depression itself.
