PMS, or
Premenstrual Syndrome, used to be something that was taken lightly. It was not
taken seriously. It was considered quote on quote ‘in a woman’s mind.’ Well,
studies have shown, and time has shown, that this is a real problem and it can
respond to treatment. One of the most effective treatments for PMS actually is
to try and find out in the cycle what’s going on, and give medications that can
affect hormones. Antidepressant medications can help in severe cases. There are
certain ones, the SSRIs, that are very effective.
