14. Is It ”Just PMS” Or Is There Something More Going On? | A Conversation Around Validation, Causes & Differences When It Comes To PMS & PMDD

How many times have you had a conversation with a friend or family member & you've shared what emotions, feelings & symptoms you've been experiencing in the week before your period, and all you've heard back is "oh, that's just PMS". End of story. Basically: just deal with it.

There's really not much space for further discussion, and it often leaves you feeling shut down, not listened to and far from validated. 

In this episode, we're chatting about PMS, PMDD, potential causes of both, diagnosis... the whole kitten and kaboodle! You'll definitely gain some insight into what is going on with your body, mind and hormones.

Regardless if you have a diagnosis or not... if you're not sure what the heck is going on with your body and mind, but you know something ain't right... know that what you're experiencing is REAL & YOU ARE NOT CRAZY! And you do not need to suffer alone!

Listen in!
