10. Supporting Lifestyle Therapies

While drug therapies can offer significant benefit for women with PMDD, certain lifestyle changes can enhance the effectiveness of other therapies and improve one's quality of life. Simple changes such as getting adequate, restful sleep and undertaking regular exercise can significantly reduce symptoms. Dietary changes including less caffeine, alcohol, and salt can reduce insomnia and fluid retention. Finally, keeping a daily diary of symptoms can help women feel more in control of their PMDD and track the improvements or changes in their condition.
