  1. Ep. 135: PMDD: The Jekyll and Hyde Condition

    4 DAYS AGO

    Ep. 135: PMDD: The Jekyll and Hyde Condition

    TW: Mention of suicidal thoughts. PMDD almost took everything from me this year. I was diagnosed with PMDD in July, and at the age of 33, I had never even heard of it. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a SEVERE form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that can impact daily life. It can affect up to 5% of individuals of childbearing age, yet so few actually know about it. I'm sharing my diagnosis story and journey so far with PMDD to not only help raise awareness but remind people that what they might be going through is because of their hormones. You are wanted in this world. You are loved. You are not alone. Learn more about PMDD at womensmentalhealth.org. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/drlizkopco/support

    Ep. 128: ADHD: Other Common Co-Occuring Conditions (Pt 3)

    As many as 80% of adults with ADHD have at least one coexisting psychiatric disorder, including mood and anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, and even personality disorders like bipolar disorder. When I was diagnosed with ADHD this summer, I was also diagnosed with PMDD. But there are other conditions that people with ADHD are at higher risk for also having, so today we're talking about common co-occurring conditions and what treatment can look like. Learn more about co-occuring conditions with ADHD from chadd.org. Research articles mentioned include: Katzman MA, Bilkey TS, Chokka PR, Fallu A, Klassen LJ. Adult ADHD and comorbid disorders: clinical implications of a dimensional approach. BMC Psychiatry. 2017 Aug 22;17(1):302. doi: 10.1186/s12888-017-1463-3. PMID: 28830387; PMCID: PMC5567978.
