In this episode I talk to Charlotte from 'What a bloody mess' and Dr Nikki Ramskill from 'femalehealthdoc' (instagram links below) to talk all things PMDD, and the correlations between PMDD and forms of neurodivergence.
Please note: There are brief references of the effects of PMDD in relation to suicide and that subject area and whilst we do not discuss this in great length, these topics do come up.
