Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) & Hormonal Mood Disorders

Many women in Dubai silently struggle with emotional and physical symptoms tied to their menstrual cycle. If your mood shifts, irritability, or anxiety feel unmanageable before your period, it may be more than PMS—it could be PMDD or another hormone-related mood disorder. At the American Wellness Center, we provide holistic, integrated care to help you reclaim emotional stability and feel more like yourself again.

Who This Is For

This service is for women who are:

  • Experiencing severe premenstrual mood swings, anger, or sadness
  • Noticing emotional shifts that disrupt work, relationships, or sleep
  • Feeling mentally “off” at predictable times in their cycle
  • Suspecting PMDD or have received a diagnosis but need further support
  • Seeking a non-judgmental space to explore mood and hormonal changes

Whether you’ve been dealing with these symptoms for years or just started noticing them, you don’t have to normalize the distress—help is available.

What We Address

Our care supports women experiencing:

  • Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD): Intense mood changes, anger, anxiety, or tearfulness before menstruation
  • Severe PMS: Physical and emotional discomfort that interferes with daily life
  • Hormonal Mood Sensitivity: Emotional reactivity around ovulation, menstruation, or postpartum
  • Irritability & Rage Episodes: Outbursts that feel out of control or hard to explain
  • Mood Shifts Tied to Hormonal Imbalances: Changes associated with PCOS, thyroid issues, or perimenopause

Identifying the patterns is key to personalized care—and can offer immediate relief and long-term improvement.

Our Approach

We use an integrative model that may include:

  • Psychological Therapy: CBT, DBT, or ACT to manage intense thoughts and emotions
  • Cycle Tracking & Symptom Mapping: Understanding how your mood links to hormonal fluctuations
  • Psychiatric Evaluation: For medication options including SSRIs or hormonal stabilizers when appropriate
  • Lifestyle & Nutritional Guidance: Supporting mood regulation through food, exercise, and sleep
  • Collaboration with Gynecology: Coordinated care for underlying hormonal imbalances

We take your symptoms seriously and design a care plan that works with your lifestyle and needs.
