According to statistics, about 80% of women of childbearing age suffer or have ever experienced symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, or PMS.Nevertheless, this condition is still very poorly understood his reasons science is not known, the symptoms vary within one and a half to two hundred, and indeed the official medicine admitted its existence only a few decades ago.
What can we say about the "brother-twin" PMS - premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), which is itself something a woman will not always be able to identify. What is it and what is different from PMS? How to detect it and, most importantly, what to do?
It
Da usually accompanied by emotional problems similar to PMS, but they last longer and are more intense. According to some doctors, the disorder can cause even suicidal thoughts, when this attacks the da can prosecute a woman for up to two and a half to three weeks a month!
However, prior to such extremes comes relatively rare. According to the American psychiatrists, only about 5% of women experience symptoms sufficient for diagnosis of the da, but this does not mean that it is not necessary to treat. Causes of disorder, as in the case of PMS is not precisely known, so the specific therapy hasn't been invented yet. But, as a rule, to cope with da help ordinary relaxation, good sleep and diet in General the usual methods of dealing with stress and depression. In very rare cases, the doctor may prescribe mild antidepressants, but it is fraught with hormonal failure, which again will lead to the fickleness of mind. So to take the tablets with caution.
How to distinguish from PMS?
- Da starts about two weeks before the first day of menstruation and occurs mainly on the emotional field. But PMS, along with mood swings and bouts of irritability, often accompanied by physiological symptoms - bowel disorders, oedema, pain in the abdomen and legs, chest discomfort, migraines, etc.
The most typical "satellites" da - conflict, continuous anxiety and bouts of tearfulness. Yes, PMS, many feel overwhelmed, unable to get out of a bad mood and often snarls at everyone. But if you can resortsa onto a colleague that he had not opened the door in front of you, and ready to cry, if the buffet was not loved yogurt, the problem may be much more serious.
During the da may experience the so-called obsessive, i.e. obsessive thoughts, concerns, from which it is impossible to get away. You are constantly thinking about off home plate, ironed your shirt, well I ate your child and does not look new haircut is stupid. Obsessie can go literally to neurosis and often prevent to concentrate on foreign Affairs.
Even in the absence of these symptoms da reduces the ability to concentrate. For example, you write a letter and getting to the end of the sentence, reread it all over again several times, because I lose the thought. Or talking on the phone, distracted to the received SMS-ku, leave thoughts "in the cloud" and they forget all about the interlocutor. Of course, sometimes it happens with everyone, but if the situation is repeated day after day and prevents you to work normally, it is quite possible - it da.
- Constant fatigue, weakness and drowsiness, at the same time accompanied by insomnia can also specify on da.
The symptoms of the da as PMS, should disappear with the end of menstruation. If they last and after, most likely, the case is more serious than you thought. It can be depression, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, for example, and it will not cure a simple walks and aromatic oils. It is better to consult a therapist or therapist for help.
