In this episode I share my personal experience with PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder). I discuss the symptoms of PMDD, how it exacerbates my ADHD, particularly in emotional regulation and cognitive function, and offer insights into coping strategies that have helped me manage these challenges. I touch on the importance of understanding medication management and the potential dangers of switching medications without proper guidance.
