Apparently this TikTok star/reality star/celebrity not named Addison has now invented a disease.

PMDD – Premenstrual dysphoric disorder

Dixie D’Amelio reveals she has premenstrual dysphoric disorder: What to know about the condition

TikTok star and singer Dixie D’Amelio is shining a spotlight on a lesser-known condition that impacts some women during their menstrual cycle.

D’Amelio, 21, revealed to her fans that she has been diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a condition that can cause severe irritability, depression and anxiety, according to the U.S. Office on Women’s Health.

“Once a month, for about two weeks, I go into this dark spiral of like a depression, no one cares about me, I’m doing everything wrong, I’m not proud of myself and cut everyone out,” D’Amelio said on the “Pretty Basic” podcast. “It changes my whole entire brain, and also I snap out of it so quickly.”

D’Amelio said she was just recently diagnosed with PMDD after struggling for years with the symptoms, which she said impacted her relationships.

“I look back, like, oh that’s why I can’t keep a friendship or a relationship stable because I’m so back and forth between thinking the whole world is against me and having a normal brain where everything is like, ‘no, that’s not true,’ ” she said. “I think everyone just thought I was a b**** and I’m like, no, I know this isn’t me. I don’t know why I’m so angry all the time and attacking people because that’s not how I feel.”

What to know about PMDD

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder affects as many as 5% of women of childbearing age, according to the Office on Women’s Health.

It is described as a condition similar to PMS but more severe in the symptoms it brings, including depression, irritability, fatigue, anxiety and tension. Physical symptoms may include headaches, cramps, bloating, joint and muscle pain, insomnia and binge eating or food cravings. – Source
