Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a much more severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

PMDD Meaning

Pre (Before) 
Menstrual - (pertaining to a woman's menses) 
Dysphoria - Depression, down in the doldrums
Disorder - out of proper function 

PMDD and PMS are connected to hormonal imbalanced, driven by mineral and nutritional deficiences.

People with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) have PMS symptoms (bloating, headaches and breast tenderness) in the weeks before their period. But PMDD also causes severe anxiety, depression and mood changes. Some people with PMDD become suicidal.

Cancer, abnormal blood clotting, and infertility were known to be caused by estrogen before 1940. 

Estrogen, at least when it is not opposed by a very large concentration of progesterone, creates all of the conditions known to be involved in the aging process e.g., impaired learning ability, increased tendency to form blood clots and to have vascular spasms, elevated prolactin, atrophy of skin, increased susceptibility to a great variety of cancers, lowered body temperature, lower serum albumin, increased tendency toward edema. In recent years, it has been found to be responsible even for neonatal masculinization and the masculinization of the polycystic ovary syndrome.  Ray Peat PhD.,
