Dixie D’Amelio shares diagnosis of premenstrual dysphoric disorder
Dixie D’Amelio is open about her health situation.
In one Recent Instagram Live, the 21-year-old girl shared that she was diagnosed with Premenstrual Dysfunction or PMDD. “I took a break from using social media for the past two weeks,” she explains. “I don’t feel great and not really sure why.”
According to the Mayo Clinic, PMS is a severe premenstrual syndrome that sometimes disables the persistence of PMS. PMDD can have both physical and emotional symptoms and can also cause extreme mood swings.
“It really affects your mood and behavior and many different parts of your life,” D’Amelio show stars continue. “I didn’t realize how much it affected me until I got to this point… It really disrupted my life and my attitude and my personality and my relationships. And what kind of person I am and my anxiety—and that’s clear to see in the next few episodes of the show.”
As Dixie shared, her symptoms have recently affected her mental and emotional health.
