What other mental health conditions often happen alongside PMDD?
PMDD commonly occurs together with mood and anxiety disorders. This review does not report specific rates of how often this happens.
What they did
A review of research examining how often PMDD occurs at the same time as other psychiatric disorders, with focus on mood and anxiety conditions.
What they found
PMDD can occur together with other psychiatric disorders, particularly mood and anxiety disorders. The prevalence of co-occurrence varies across studies.
What it means for you
Understanding that PMDD often co-exists with other mental health conditions is important for treatment. This is a literature review, not a new study, so it cannot provide new numbers or confirm exact rates.
