Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

A brain-based perspective

Monthly mood and body shifts

PMS (premenstrual syndrome) involves physical and emotional symptoms that emerge in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. These can include mood changes, irritability, bloating, fatigue, and breast tenderness, and usually resolve when menstruation begins. For some, these symptoms are manageable but for others, they affect daily functioning and quality of life.

Widespread, but often overlooked

An estimated 75% of women and people with periods experience some form of PMS. While milder than PMDD, PMS still has real physical and psychological effects. Because the symptoms are common and occur every month, they’re frequently minimized despite their impact.

Treatment options

Care for PMS includes lifestyle adjustments, diet, and medication - but newer approaches are expanding what’s possible. Brain-based tools that target mood management and how the body responds to pain are being used to help hormonal shifts. By working with the brain-body connection, it's a more personalized way to find relief.
