Severe PMS and PMDD are real, biological conditions that deserve proper assessment and care.

While symptoms often intensify in the 30s and 40s and may overlap with early perimenopause, this topic is relevant for menstruators of all ages. Cycle related mood changes can affect adolescents through midlife and beyond, and understanding them early can improve long term care and support.

In this webinar, Dr. Madeleine Clark, ND and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, explains the differences between PMS and PMDD, the role of serotonin sensitivity, and how clinicians approach differential diagnosis when symptoms are cyclical.

This session provides a clear, evidence based framework for understanding cycle related mood symptoms and explores lifestyle focused strategies that may support symptom management as part of a comprehensive care plan.
