Some people feel PMS symptoms so strongly that it greatly interferes with school and social life. The technical name for this is Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). If you feel extremely sad, hopeless, or very irritable to the point of not being able to do anything, know that there is treatment! You don't have to suffer in silence. Talking to a gynecologist or psychologist can help bring balance back to your month.
