came across this study analysis and found out that 53% of suicides happen within the paramenstruum (4 days before to 4 days after menstruation), yet menstrual health is barely a footnote in mental health discussions, how many lives could be saved if we took this seriously?

Brilliant case study of Ashlee Brown, a footballer a defender for west bromwich albion, always claims she plays better than expected during her period, the real issue isn’t biology, it’s centuries of conditioning that taught women to sit out.
A study published in Journal of Women's Health (2020) found that women who engaged in physical activity experienced fewer discomforts by releasing endorphins (which have pain relieving effects) & potentially reducing the release of prostaglandins (hormones that can cause cramps).

#menstrualhealth
your cycle changes how you see the world in simpler words, in the late follicular phase, women respond faster to positive stimuli but in the mid-luteal phase, they’re more sensitive to negative emotions, your hormones aren't just about PMS
#WomensHealth
women in the late follicular phase approach positive stimuli faster, while those in the mid-luteal phase avoid negative ones more acutely, your hormones shape your motivation & responses!
ever noticed how some days you're drawn to positivity, while on others, you just need to avoid negativity? turns out, the menstrual cycle affects approach-avoidance behaviors, influencing how we process emotions, they literally shape your emotional perception !!!

pmdd is often blundered as bipolar disorder, the extreme mood changes, especially rage, depression, and impulsivity, mimic bipolar disorder, but the key difference is that pmdd follows a strict menstrual cycle pattern while bipolar episodes are unpredictable

I wish people could understand more that PMDD is nothing but like an emotional tsunami every month- i could not & can not stop it- just ride it out which its why its like “off the charts”, etc

PMDD can worsen over time unlike regular PMS, the symptoms can intensify as a person ages, especially during perimenopause making it harder to diagnose later in life.

Is the menstrual cycle an overlooked vital sign in psychiatry?
In this @BMJMentalHealth perspective, we argue - yes!
think about it... in places where no word exists for pmdd, silence fuels hidden suffering, it's time to name the pain and break the taboo
