What is premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)?

Kevin Mangelschots·22/07/2025·0 comments

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a serious and chronic form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that affects a small percentage of women, with studies showing that around 3% to 8% of those are of reproductive age.

It’s much more intense than regular PMS and can considerably interfere with daily life, relationships, and emotional well-being.

Hi there, I’m Kevin Mangelschots! A little more about myself: - I'm 33 years old. - I’m a registered, licensed, and practicing therapist with a bachelor’s degree in occupational therapy. - Currently practicing at a rehabilitation center located in Belgium. Longtime fitness and gaming enthusiast. - Turned towards psychology, philosophy, mental health, and self-improvement to improve my chronic depression. - My goal is to share evidence-based information with the world that I know is helpful and useful to improve depression and overall well-being. In short, I’m just a guy trying to make sense of the world by thinking about ideas, studying psychology, philosophy, and mental and physical health. I strive to apply my degree in healthcare (occupational therapy) to explain concepts as clearly as possible, based on current research findings.
