Dr. Dunnewold describes the relationship between PMS/Premenstrual Syndrome and PMDD/Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder.
Dr. Dunnewold:
PMS is sort of an umbrella over the whole concept of changes in behavior and feelings that a woman might have in the period leading up to the bleeding part of her menstrual cycle I guess, and PMDD is the clinical term for when those symptoms reach a certain level that might require medication or medical treatment. PMDD may go beyond lifestyle coping kinds of changes.
