PMDD: It sounds like you may have Prementrual Dysphoric Disorder or PMDD. Hormones sometimes at play, but biochemical changes in the brain more likely culprit. Medications available that can help. Please discuss with your doctor. Hope this was helpful. Best of luck with this and thanks for using Healthtap. Dr R
