Summary
PMS can be a bit of a black box - we know we don't feel right, we know the days and weeks before our period can be sluggish, but we don't really know why because we aren't taught what's actually going on in our bodies. In today's episode, we break down the real psychology of PMS, including:
- Do you have PMS, PMDD or PME? What's the difference?
- Why we confuse PMS and depression/anxiety
- The interactions between PMS & ADHD
- The role of serotonin, estrogen and GABA
- The misconceptions about PMS and dealing with the shame
- Some of the best mental hacks for tackling PMS + more
