Priya Gupta is a 32-year-old software...
Priya Gupta is a 32-year-old software engineer who recently moved to a new city for a demanding job. For the past two years, she has experienced severe emotional and physical symptoms in the week before her period. She feels overwhelming rage and irritability, has intense crying spells, and feels completely disconnected from her partner. Physically, she battles debilitating fatigue and breast tenderness. These symptoms vanish shortly after her period starts, only to return like clockwork the next month. After her performance at work began to suffer and her relationship became strained, she confided in her sister, who suggested it might be more than 'bad PMS.' Priya scheduled an appointment with Dr. Sharma, an OB/GYN. After a detailed consultation and using a symptom tracking diary for two cycles, Dr. Sharma diagnosed Priya with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). She recommended starting with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), taken daily, combined with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to develop coping strategies. Priya was hesitant about medication but felt desperate for relief. She started the SSRI and found a therapist specializing in PMDD. The first month brought some side effects like mild nausea, but by the second cycle, Priya noticed a profound difference. The crushing despair and rage were muted, manageable. She could think clearly again. Six months later, Priya feels like herself. She has tools from therapy to handle residual stress, and the medication provides a steady emotional baseline. She is excelling at work and has repaired her relationship. Her emotional journey was one of isolation and confusion, followed by validation upon diagnosis, and finally, profound relief and regained control over her life.
