Diagnosis, Etiology, and Treatment of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
View through CrossRef
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) was recognized as an official psychiatric diagnosis among depressive disorders in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The exact etiology of PMDD is not yet fully understood, and it is a topic of current research. The hope is that learning more about PMDD can lead to improved treatment modalities for this disorder and better understanding of other related disorders (such as premenstrual mood exacerbation and postpartum- or menopause-related mood disorders). Often misdiagnosed and likely underdiagnosed, PMDD has a 12-month prevalence that ranges from 1.8 to 5.8% for women who menstruate. Mental health providers who treat women of reproductive age should be familiar with the diagnostic criteria, related differential diagnosis, and available treatment modalities for PMDD.
