Is it common to have thoughts of suicide during pms?

Not Common, Happens: It is definitely not common, but it does occur with women who have particular struggles with their mood. If you or someone you know is experiencing this, you need to talk with someone right away so that this does not continue.

Agree w Dr. Holmes: Symptoms of many conditions can increase when one is premenstrual or menstruating. This can also be true to with mood disorder - whether it is major depression or bipolar disorder. Mood can drop with premenstrual dysphoric disorder as well. A woman who experiences suicidal thoughts during PMS merits psychiatric assessment and care. One can call the National suicide hotlines 24/7 at 1-800-
