While PMDD can feel overwhelming, there are effective ways to manage symptoms. Talk therapy is one of various treatment options for PMDD and can be supportive to manage with a trained clinician. Treatment options typically include a combination of approaches, such as:

• Lifestyle changes – Regular exercise, stress reduction, sleep hygiene, and nutrition can help regulate mood and energy.

• Therapy – Behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based approaches can support emotional regulation and coping skills.

• Medication – Antidepressants (SSRIs) may be prescribed to address mood symptoms and hormone sensitivity.

• Tracking symptoms – Keeping a daily log helps identify patterns and guide personalized treatment.

Support and treatment can make a significant difference. You don’t have to navigate PMDD alone.
