PMDD Treatment in Denver, CO
Hormone-Informed Psychiatric Care for Cyclical Mood Changes and PMDD
If your mood shifts dramatically in the days before your period—then lifts once it arrives—you’re not imagining it. And you’re not alone.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a real, cyclical condition that can disrupt emotional well-being, relationships, and daily functioning. At The Inner Mosaic Psychiatry in Cherry Creek, we provide hormone-informed psychiatric care that takes PMDD seriously—because your experience deserves to be understood and validated.

Understanding PMDD
PMDD symptoms typically occur during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle—the one to two weeks between ovulation and the start of your period. Many people notice that symptoms ease or resolve once menstruation begins.
PMDD can involve:
Intense irritability or emotional reactivity
Waves of depression or anxiety
Heightened sensitivity or feeling overwhelmed
A sense of not feeling like yourself
Strain on relationships or work during certain weeks
PMDD is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed as depression, anxiety, or “bad PMS.” Without cycle-aware care, many people live with these symptoms for years before receiving accurate support.
You don’t have to deal with this on your own.
Schedule your consultation today. We’re here when you’re ready.
How We Evaluate PMDD
Care begins with careful, collaborative evaluation. Because PMDD is cyclical, understanding timing and patterns is essential.
Our evaluation may include:
Review of symptom timing across your menstrual cycle
Discussion of emotional, physical, and cognitive changes month to month
Screening for overlapping conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, or depression
Exploration of hormonal, stress-related, and lifestyle factors
Clarifying whether symptoms meet criteria for PMDD versus other mood concerns
Our goal is diagnostic clarity—so treatment is targeted, informed, and supportive.
PMDD Treatment Options
PMDD care is highly individualized. Treatment focuses on reducing distress during the luteal phase while supporting emotional stability throughout the entire cycle.
Treatment may include:
Medication Support (When Appropriate)
Certain medications can help reduce PMDD symptoms for some individuals. Decisions are made collaboratively, with careful attention to timing, response, and your personal goals.
Hormone-Informed Psychiatric Care
Hormones and the nervous system are closely connected. Treatment considers how hormonal shifts interact with mood, anxiety, and emotional regulation—rather than treating symptoms in isolation.
Addressing Overlapping Conditions
PMDD often co-occurs with ADHD, anxiety, or depressive symptoms. Identifying and addressing these overlaps can significantly improve outcomes.
Education and Cycle Awareness
Understanding how your cycle affects your mental health can be empowering. We focus on building awareness so symptoms feel predictable and manageable—not overwhelming.
Ongoing Care & Support for PMDD
PMDD is not managed with one-time treatment. Ongoing care allows us to:
Track symptoms across cycles
Adjust treatment based on real-world response
Support consistency and emotional stability over time
Care is paced, thoughtful, and responsive to how your body and mood change month to month.
Tele-psychiatry Support for PMDD
We offer secure telepsychiatry appointments across Colorado, which can be especially helpful for maintaining consistent care—even during the most difficult weeks of the cycle.
Virtual visits make it easier to access support when you need it most.
