Premenstrual Conditions
CASE: Susan is a 24-year-old (G2P2) married white female experiencing some health issues over the past year that appear to come and go each month. She tells you that she is experiencing extreme mood swings that start about 7-10 days prior to her menses. Her moods fluctuate between sadness and anger and can be triggered at the “drop of a hat”. She claims this is affecting her social and work life. She is fatigued and finds herself dozing off throughout her workday. Her boss has even commented on the fatigue and has suggested she see her healthcare provider.
