Kristina Goodsell opens up about her struggle with debilitating PMDD disorder

Kristina Goodsell, a 31-year-old star from Married at First Sight UK, recently shared her struggles with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). She described the condition as deeply debilitating, causing severe mood swings, anxiety, and physical pain in the days leading up to her period. PMDD affects about one in 20 women and can lead to significant emotional distress and physical symptoms. Experts note that many cases go undiagnosed due to a lack of awareness among both medical professionals and patients about the disorder's severity. The exact cause of PMDD is unclear, but it may be linked to hormonal changes or past trauma. For a diagnosis, women typically need to experience at least five symptoms during their menstrual cycle. Tracking symptoms and consulting a doctor is recommended for those who suspect they have PMDD.
