For many women, the weeks or days before menstruation can be filled with extreme physical and emotional upheaval triggered by chemical changes in their bodies. While the symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) can be seriously disruptive, they can be readily addressed.

PMS disorders fall into three categories:
Mild Menstrual Symptoms — Symptoms do not interfere with daily activities.
Premenstrual Syndrome — Symptoms significantly interfere with some daily activities.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder — Severe symptoms interfere with many daily activities.
