Doctor Sarah Oreck - Reproductive Psychiatrist - PMDD or Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder part II: treatment options. There are many treatment options from lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements and herbs, and medications including serotonin reuptake inhibitors or hormonal birth control. I also didn’t mention this in the video but therapy and mindfulness practices can be very helpful in building better coping skills and communication during particularly difficult times in our lives. Unfortunately, due to a limited amount of research in women’s health, we don’t know what exactly works best. It’s important that you speak with your physician to rule out any other cause for your mood issues and if you do have PMDD to figure out the best treatment options with you.
