Premenstrual dysphoric disorder is a mental illness that describes mood changes occurring exclusively during the two weeks before menses. While 80% of women experience some physical and emotional problems during this time, only 3% - 8% meet the definition of PMDD.
The condition involves much more than a bad time during a period. It is cyclical, occurring at the same point in the menstrual cycle each month. PMDD does not take over the entire month, however. Each sufferer must experience at least 7 to 10 days of no symptoms to qualify as a true PMDD patient.
