How do SSRIs Affect Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)?
PMDD is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) characterized by intense mood swings, irritability, and depression. SSRIs have been shown to be effective in alleviating these symptoms. They can be prescribed on a continuous basis or only during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, depending on the patient's needs and the severity of the symptoms.
