Hi. I have always felt really different around the time of my menstrual period. I become much less tolerant of things and my moods change frequently.

Today, though, which I think is one or two days before my menstruation, I’ve been feeling a strong sense of sadness for no reason at all and it frustrates me. I also find myself not caring about anything and wanting to do anything to get rid of this illogical pain. This frustrates me because even if I try to do something that makes me happy, I have no care for it and just become frustrated.

It’s strange. Once my period is done, I slowly feel better and back to my normal self, like my emotional turns have never happened.

Would it be a good choice if I started using an anti-depressant, or a birth control pill such as Yaz to help with this? Or is it simply me exaggerating the need for PMS relief? I am really not sure if I have PMDD, but I do feel really different around the time of my period. If you do think I have PMDD, what is the best brand to use?

NOTE: I am only seventeen, but I will turn eighteen next year. If I’m not allowed to take any anti-depressants because of my age then I am ok with waiting until next year to start using it. I would just like to ask you if I actually have PMDD and what I should do about it later on.

Thank you.
