Shalene Gupta's book "The Cycle: Confronting the Pain of Periods and PMDD" is a groundbreaking exploration of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a severe form of PMS that is often underdiagnosed and misunderstood leaving many women to suffer in silence.
Shalene shares her personal journey with PMDD, offering a raw and honest account of living with this condition. We discuss the wide range of symptoms that can affect sufferers, from mood swings to physical pain, and how these can impact daily life.
We also delve into:
* The various treatment options available for those battling PMDD
* How the medical establishment has historically failed to recognize and properly treat this disorder
* The stigmas surrounding PMS and menstrual cycles that contribute to the lack of awareness
* Ways to advocate for better understanding and treatment of PMDD
Whether you're struggling with PMDD yourself, know someone who might be, or simply want to understand more about this hidden epidemic, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we work to break the silence and bring PMDD into the spotlight it finally deserves.
