    Severe premenstrual depression

    Scientists believe they have found a possible genetic link to an increased risk of severe premenstrual depression, says an article published on Forbes.com.

    Severe premenstrual depression occurs in women diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder, or PMDD. Although PMDD is classified as a psychiatric disorder, the cause of both, the less severe form PMS, and PMDD has been thought to be hormonal. According to the article, scientists now believe that this new discovery may help to explain why some women are more susceptible to severe premenstrual depression that other women.
