## About the study

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) affecting up to 8% of reproductive age women. It is characterized by physical and psychological symptoms that occur in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, prior to the onset of menses, and leads to negative impact on the psychosocial functioning of affected individuals. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are usually used to treat PMDD but they have several side effects so it is important to use complementary treatment such as tryptophan-rich diet and acupuncture for women with PMDD . The purpose of the current study is to determine the combined effect of tryptophan-rich diet and acupuncture on depression related to premenstrual dysphoric disorder
