Premenstrual disorders (like PMDD or PME) can be tricky to recognize. There isn't one significant symptom that is a tell-tale sign that you have a premenstrual disorder. In this episode, Heidi describes obstacles to recognizing you have a premenstrual disorder.
Take Aways: 11 Obstacles

- When you present your issues and problems to a doctor nothing stands out as a premenstrual disorder.
- Hormone levels come back normal (because they are!)
- There is not one test or indicator that you have PMDD or PME.
- Not every woman has the same indicators.
- There is no “one size fits all” treatment.
- Sometimes you feel great.
- It’s hard to recognize the patterns in your own behavior that match up with PMDD or PME.
