FAQs About PMDD & Virtual Care
You Might Be Wondering
Is PMDD different from PMS?
Yes. While PMS may cause mild discomfort, PMDD symptoms are more severe, especially in terms of emotional and mood changes. PMDD can significantly affect daily functioning.
Can PMDD really be treated with medication?
Many people experience symptom relief with specific SSRIs, hormonal options, or other evidence-based medications — prescribed when appropriate by your provider.
Will I need a diagnosis before starting?
No formal diagnosis is required to begin. Your provider will assess your symptoms through the intake form and help determine the best next steps.
What if my symptoms vary month to month?
That’s very common. Your provider will consider patterns and fluctuations as part of your treatment plan, and you can adjust it over time.
