Consistent with [Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder] [specifier(s)]. In the majority of menstrual cycles, symptoms have occurred during the final week before menses, improved within days of onset of menses, and become minimal or absent in the week post-menses. Symptoms include marked affective lability; irritability; anger; increased interpersonal conflict; depressed mood; hopelessness; anxiety; tension; decreased interest in usual activities; difficulty concentrating; lethargy; marked change in appetite; hypersomnia; insomnia; feeling overwhelmed; physical symptoms such as breast tenderness; bloating; weight gain, forming a constellation with at least one mood symptom and five or more total symptoms. These symptoms have resulted in clinically significant distress or impairment, and the picture is not better explained by another depressive, bipolar, or anxiety disorder, substance use, or a primary medical condition.
