Specialized PMDD Care for Women
Severe mood changes before your period may be more than PMS. WholeMind provides personalized telepsychiatry for women across Minnesota experiencing PMDD symptoms that affect their emotions, relationships, work, and daily life.
UNDERSTANDING PMDD
PMDD is a severe, cyclical condition that causes emotional, behavioral, and physical symptoms before menstruation. Symptoms often improve shortly after the period begins but may significantly disrupt work, relationships, and daily life.
Tracking symptoms across at least two menstrual cycles can help identify patterns and support an accurate evaluation.
We review your symptoms, menstrual cycle patterns, medical history, and overall mental health to develop an individualized care plan.
PMDD Is More Than PMS

Common Questions About PMDD Care
Clear, compassionate answers to help you feel informed, supported, and empowered in your care.
How is PMDD different from PMS?
Both follow the menstrual cycle, but PMDD is more severe. Its mood symptoms — irritability, depression, anxiety — are intense enough to disrupt daily life and relationships, and they ease once your period begins.
Do I need to track my cycle to be diagnosed?
Tracking symptoms across a couple of cycles is one of the most helpful tools, because PMDD is defined by its timing. We’ll guide you through what to note — and you don’t need it perfect before reaching out.
Can PMDD actually be treated?
Yes. PMDD responds well to treatment, and there are several approaches. We build an individualized plan together based on your pattern, your history, and your goals.
