Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder

Doctors at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Bethesda, Maryland are trying to learn more about the causes of and treatments for premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD, a severe premenstrual syndrome). Many women experience distressing mood changes prior to their menstrual periods. Current research suggests that women who experience PMDD may have an abnormal sensitivity to a normal change in hormones.
