Continue reading to learn about common PMDD symptoms and premenstrual dysphoric disorder therapies commonly used within therapy clinics.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is known as severe PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome). The key difference between PMDD vs. PMS is that PMDD can affect your physical and mental health, which is not the case with typical PMS symptoms. PMDD symptoms commonly occur during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and can cause significant distress and impairment.
You may experience mood swings, irritability, depressive symptoms, fatigue, and bloating. It is important to note that PMDD is a medical condition, and often requires professional support. Seeking professional support is vital because this condition can be misdiagnosed for other conditions. Recommended PMDD treatments can include lifestyle changes, therapy, and medication management services.
PMDD is an example of a hormonal mood disorder. This condition is the result of sensitivity to the natural hormonal changes that take place during the menstrual cycle. Changes in your levels of estrogen and progesterone can affect the chemistry in your brain, triggering the physical and psychological symptoms associated with PMDD.
Factors that can contribute to PMDD include genetic predispositions, severe stress, and disrupted circadian rhythm cycles. This is common among shift workers and those who work nights. Additionally, women who have a history of mood disorders, like depression and anxiety, are believed to be at a heightened risk of developing PMDD. Like other mental health conditions, PMDD is a complex condition that is impacted by a range of social, psychological, and biological factors.
We accept most major insurance providers and can check your coverage levels for you.

PMDD is known for a combination of physical and emotional symptoms. Emotional symptoms of PMDD can include irritability, anxiety, and depression. Common physical symptoms include headaches, joint pain, and breast tenderness. Most women begin to experience symptoms one to two weeks before menstruation. These symptoms are more severe than typical PMS symptoms.
As previously mentioned, PMDD symptoms can lead to functional impairments. You may find yourself withdrawing from social situations and distancing yourself from others. Difficulties with concentration can affect your professional and academic performance, causing disruptions in these settings. To meet clinical criteria for PMDD, you need to have a minimum of five symptoms outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) for premenstrual dysphoric disorders.
If you relate to one or more of the symptoms we reviewed, we encourage you to contact AMFM, Our admission counselors can provide you with a free and confidential mental health assessment which can get you one step closer to the personalized treatment you need. Dial (866)478-4383 today to begin.
There are several options for medications for premenstrual dysphoric disorder. This can include Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), hormonal therapies, and some pain relievers. The medications we listed have different benefits and functions, which means that your prescriber may provide you with more than one.
Those living with severe PMDD may be prescribed GnRH agonists, anti-inflammatory medications, and certain supplements. Your healthcare provider will work with you to tailor your medication regimen to your needs.
A PMDD medical treatment center can provide you with comprehensive care focused on learning how to manage PMDD symptoms. Treatment can take place in an inpatient or outpatient recovery center, incorporating therapy, psychoeducation, skills training, holistic approaches, and medication management services.
Behavioral health centers offering PMDD treatment tend to have professionals who specialize in women’s health. They can offer a range of therapeutic services using a range of evidence-based approaches. They can also help you learn about foods to avoid with PMDD, and how to cope with PMDD at work.

The extent of your coverage is dependent on your insurance provider, the details of your policy, current symptoms, and the location of the treatment facility.

Treatment options for PMDD and mood swings are dependent on the severity of your symptoms and the impact they have on your everyday life. Depression treatment options range from immersive care in a residential treatment facility, to flexible care in an outpatient treatment center. Continue reading for a brief overview of commonly used PMDD treatment options:
Light therapy is a treatment option that includes the use of an artificial bright light. Light therapy can be used to address mood symptoms that are caused by an underlying circadian rhythm disruption. Your treatment professional may recommend that you use the light daily during the luteal phase of your menstrual cycle.
Medications for premenstrual dysphoric disorder can help decrease the emotional and physical symptoms of PMDD. Antidepressants, including SSRIs, can be used to decrease your mood symptoms. Hormonal fluctuations can be stabilized with the use of hormonal treatments, including birth control. Your providers can review available OTC (over-the-counter) pain medications to reduce your discomfort.
Music and art therapy are holistic treatments commonly used in treatment centers. These therapies can help increase self-awareness, and self-expression, and promote relaxation. Holistic treatments are commonly used with other premenstrual dysphoric disorder therapies and medication management services. Contact your healthcare facility to inquire about other holistic treatments available.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is an evidence-based approach commonly used to treat trauma that exacerbates PMDD symptoms. This approach targets one traumatic memory at a time and can be repeated for additional traumatic memories. This can help reduce your trauma-related symptoms that are worsened during certain stages of your menstrual cycle.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based therapy commonly used to treat mood disorders. This approach can help you recognize negative automatic thoughts that contribute to your PMDD emotions and thoughts. CBT can also help you learn problem-solving skills and new coping strategies to manage your PMDD symptoms.
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on strengthening your relationships, including communication patterns. When you’re struggling with a mood disorder, it is not uncommon for your symptoms to affect others in your life. IPT can help improve your emotional well-being and help build social support.

PMDD can look different in various ways. Variations can include the PMDD symptoms that you experience, as well as the impact they have on you. Though this is not a comprehensive list, below is information about some of the common types of PMDD:
Emotional-dominant PMDD is known for having mood-related symptoms. This can lead to difficulties with depression, anxiety, and irritability. Those living with this subtype of PMDD often struggle with emotion regulation. This type of PMDD can be treated with the use of medications, psychoeducation, and evidence-based approaches like dialectical-behavioral therapy.
The physical-dominant subtype of PMDD is known for having more prominent physical symptoms of PMDD. This can include muscle pain, joint pain, bloating, and headaches. This subtype can include emotional symptoms of PMDD, though these are often less intense and distressing.
The mixed-symptom subtype of premenstrual dysphoric disorder is known for having a combination of both emotional and physical symptoms of PMDD. Both sets of symptoms cause distress, unlike the previous two subtypes where one is more pronounced. You can experience disruption to your daily life from both physical and emotional symptoms.
Like other mental health conditions, PMDD is categorized by severity. This is typically determined by the number of symptoms that you experience. Mild to moderate PMDD can have noticeable symptoms that affect you, though they are not disruptive. Lifestyle changes for PMDD can help you effectively manage your symptoms.
Severe premenstrual dysphoric disorder can cause significant distress and disruption in your daily life. You may notice the impact on your professional, personal, and academic functioning. Severe PMDD often requires professional support. Treatment can focus on how to manage your PMDD symptoms in everyday life.
Delayed resolution of PMDD is known for the presence of emotional or physical symptoms that continue outside the typical range in the menstrual cycle. This subtype of PMDD often overlaps with other mood disorders and can lead to prolonged distress. Professional support can help you learn to manage your symptoms and introduce stress management for PMDD and dual-diagnosis conditions.

Mental health treatment for premenstrual dysphoric disorder is available in varying levels of intensity to address the individual differences that occur with this condition. Treatment options range from flexible outpatient care to structured and immersive residential treatment. Below are examples of commonly used treatment programs, though they may vary by location and provider.
A residential treatment facility provides 24/7 care in a structured environment. Your treatment will focus on your severe PMDD symptoms and address how they disrupt your daily life. Treatment can include evidence-based approaches like CBT, hormonal management, and stress-reduction techniques. Mindfulness and nutrition education can also be included.
Partial Hospitalization Programming (PHP) is the most intensive treatment program available within an outpatient treatment center. Treatment includes a full day of structured care including therapy, support groups, psychoeducation, and medication management services. You will learn how to manage PMDD symptoms at home and have the opportunity to implement coping skills in real time.
Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP) is ideal for those who need more support than a traditional outpatient program, without requiring a full day of intensive treatment. Your treatment can include 9 or more hours of treatment. This can include group therapy, individual therapy, and medication management services.
Traditional outpatient treatment provides you with flexible treatment options, including weekly or biweekly treatment. This can include individual or group therapy and medication management services. Outpatient care is ideal for those with mild symptoms who can effectively manage their symptoms with little professional oversight.
Many popular health insurance providers provide coverage for premenstrual dysphoric disorder therapies and treatment. This generally includes Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Carelon, Cigna, Halcyon, Humana, Kaiser, UMR, and United Healthcare. These providers offer a range of plans and services, often with varying coverage rates.

Outpatient treatment centers offer more affordable treatment options. Traditional outpatient therapy sessions are often between $100 to $200 per session, with lower costs for group treatment.
