Period at 9yrs old... severe anger/mood swings at 12, depression at 13, panic attacks and anxiety at 20. At 28 I was diagnosed with PMDD and told there was nothing I could do except get my uterus removed. I'm 36 now and FINALLY found a doctor to help with my PMDD. I've lost 27yrs of life because of doctors brushing it off and telling me to take motrin or get out more.
I hope you're doing better now, Indie. It's so sad that we live in a world where men still think they know best about women and have set the rules of how women should be looked at and treated.
Hi there. I think it would help every other woman with pmdd Symptoms if someone whos got their ovalries removed or went through a Hysterectomy would document the physical vs. The psychological changes in detail via the comments. I'm really interested in this.
@@biancahotca3244 diet and Journaling. Seems odd, but I journal to track how I'm feeling. That way every month I can know what's coming and can support myself better. Diet, coincides with the Journaling. If I need to add more iron, protein or carbohydrates I know to. I also prioritize sleep and have a support system at game so that they can also be there for me.
Mashallallah, what a wonderful talk. Love seeing a brilliant Muslim doctor help teach people the truth. Ma Sha Allah May Allah keep you safe and healthy for very long time to teach more.
Asiya Julejsiya as a niqabi myself sis. I do not agree that we should approach this topic in this manner. Gentleness with our sisters is better. I’d still rather learn from her than a non muslim from what’s apparent about her we can tell she is still Muslim and it is better to support her.
I came here because I am in the middle of an anxiety and depression spiral I get the week before my period. I have not been disappointed. Information is power
Amazing amazing talk dr. Marwa, thank you so much for this. I'm on my journey to heal from PCOS that broke havoc on my emotional wellbeing, my skin, my Entergy, libido, everything. And you are a great example of a modern genius Muslim lady. Big applause 👏👏👏👏💗💗💗
Marwa, this was amazing!!!! I have recently been diagnosed with a hormone imbalance, after seeing 3 doctors, two of which said it was "just pms" and hormones couldn't be read. My FSH and LH levels are all over the place, and I have a treatment plan. I'm also now working with my body and learning to understand it more. I'm incorporating more vegetables into my body, probiotics, and ensuring I get enough sleep! Thank you for this talk though, it highlighted just how sensitive your hormones can be to other parts of your body and it's not just always a psychological problem.
Caffeine raises cortisol. Im off all forms of it for almost a year now. When my progesterone would drop, the lows were like death. It was horrible. I am still working to balance things, but its a major step in the right direction. It was hard but worth it.
Very good talk, this information needs to be heard. Many doctors don't take the issue of women having hormone imbalance and other related PMS issues seriously. Thank you for bringing this topic to light, we women intuitively know when somethings isn't right, we need to hold our health care providers to a higher standard to find a holistic solution, and not just prescribe a pill that may or may not solve the multi-layered issues that we are dealing with. It is about doctors (who are predominantly men) taking the time to truly listen to us to carefully and compassionately.
Carmen LeMon same. I've been suffering for years and years but because I don't have visible endometriosis the multiple gynos I have seen just say I have bad periods and there's nothing to do but try different birth controls. I've been on half a dozen different birth controls, gotten an iud, taken intense narcotic painkillera and take zofran for constant nausea at least 1 week out of the month but not even that really puts a dent in my suffering. I'm currently on dat 3 of not being able to leave my apartment because of the "period pain" that my dr continues to shrug off as just a normal thing that I'll just have to learn to deal with. It took until 9 pm today to even feel well enough to drive to the pharmacy to pick up medication and I just got home and immediately threw up after trying my best not to vomit from the nausea and headache while driving..If only this was actually taken seriously..
What is talked about in that video can "save" my life. I'm right now living like my 240th week of hormonal waves/pain/depression/intense fatigue/loss of way too much blood/insomnia. I often think, I'll never have a normal life, I'll never be able to build myself, and to build steady relationships, etc. However learning how your body and mind works and being kind to yourself and trying to have the healthiest lifestyle as possible, and being transparent about it with the people around you so that they can understand & support you is truly the key. Thank you for this video !
Dr Marwa Azab please write a book 📚 or more. We need credible connections about our health so that we are not slaves to ignorance. Let your knowledge become common knowledge!! Possibly connect with the political contacts at the Westin Price Foundation and Healthy Child Healthy World!! Much love and happiness in all that you do!!
Thank you Dr Azab! I needed to hear this. My gynecological problems have been dismissed for over a year and I finally changed providers because it was getting worse. Thank you!
Bravo! "The more you learn about you, the better you will emerge". :) and what she said "you are truely the expert for you, you are the best for you", I've never heard medical professional share my lay person's belief. :) powerful stuff!
Great talk Marwa! I recently went through a major breakout and my doctor continued to tell me its nothing, just adult acne. I am pretty sure it has to do with hormonal imbalance though. So thank you for this.
HANAN TEHAILI I am a big fan of yours. It is better to see a functional medicine doctor or naturopathic doctor if you can. They understand these issues much better. Allah SWT gave us so many plants and herbd to help heal ourselves and regular MD's just don't know most of the time. They get barely any training on nutrition.
Same happens to me, and the dermatologist treat it like rosacea, well...it is rosacea, but they are covering up temporarily a symptom, without focusing on the cause...
Doctors nowadays are following the quidlines and pushing drug prescriptions for Big Pharma profits our health and well-being is last thing into this industry ,,,, sadly ! All what we can do is -educate and learn, go back to the nature.
It has been such a wild menstrual journey since I began at 12. I have PMDD and have almost lost my life to it. Just realizing I have to completely restructure my month, plans and life around my cycle and embrace them fully during each phase. The link to the seasons of the year and the moon are also going to be eye opening. Thank you for you work and passion, courage and voice.
I was diagnosed with PMDD as well just over a year ago. I’m grateful I leaned about it in my twenties, and not later. But as I started to learn about it, it became so clear how little hormonal disorders like this have been studied. So many people suffer from this; it’s mind boggling!
BEST video and explanation on a woman's body that I have ever heard!! I learned more from this one video than I have in 2 years of research. Phenomenal!!
I have been experiencing major acnes, hair loss, acnes in my back, hormonal scars on my face and so many more. i went to the doctor and he prescribed some hormonal pills to balance my progesterone level as he noticed my body is producing testosterone at a disproportionate level. The pill actually changed nothing. I believe my state of mind truly changed everything as i was being more positive and less stressed out my hair loss and acne diminished at a remarkable level. One year later i find this talk, Dr Marwa you are amazing!! whatever she said is entirely true, the main problem is stress and we as women need to get a grip of it since it manifests in such a way that is drastic to us. May we all find way through our hormonal imbalance.
This video very well needed to educate public. I suffer from PMDD and I suffer frim from depression and anxiety and 2 weeks before PMS, my anxiety and depression heightened.
Wonderful talk! I am on a journey to health doing a lot of research on the connection between trauma and chronic illness. The bodymind connection has been essential in my understanding of what has gone wrong in my systems. No allopathic doctor has had any clue how to help me. It's sad, but as a social scientist I also find it fascinating.
I suffered from debilitating anxiety until menopause almost immediately took it away. I still had problems but no more crippling anxiety. Imagine that! Now I have learned that overactive bladder is associated with psychological symptoms too. Hmmm
I'm so pleased to see this-I've been saying this for years. So many women with the illness i have- M.E./CFS have period/hormonal issues. I believe the part of the brain that creates the illness and keeps us ill is in the midbrain-ie the HPA (Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Amygdala) axis so it isn't surprising that this affects the message to the ovaries.
Am having PCOD and am thankful to me that am putting efforts to reverse this and balancing my hormones in natural way....this is a great motivation for me and jas encouraged me more to enjoy my journey of reversing PCOD. But,i have constant headache if anyone can give any solution i will be more than happy to hear that......i have all those symptoms thinning hair,facial hair,fatigue 24×7,irregular cycles but i have jotted dowm courage to overcome this.
hi i have the same problem im trying the gluten dairy free but its not easy cause of the moods and tiredness But the weeks im gluten and dairy free i do feel better
Destress, detox, eat balanced and healthy, get enough sleep and meditate. This will heal your body and mind. It's simple actually. Come out of the hamster wheel.
Excellent! Of such considerable intelligence. "Embrace your vulnerability, to know more of yourself" if not others will do it for you.. thank you for this sharing!
Wonderful talk. Almost all women can feel hormone effects. The time has come for proper research and health care. For a full education on hormones I highly recommend Menopause Barbie Taylor (a gynecologist) who has put together a wonderful education that all women deserve. I was shocked to discover the health risk to women when these hormones leave our bodies. Which they will for all of us eventually. There is so much you can do with the right education and care to live a great long life x. Enjoy 💛
I suddenly developed an anxiety disorder out of the blue 3 months ago. I've always suffered from depression, bad enough to ruin my life, but not bad enough to end it. It's just always been there. The anxiety, however, is a whole other animal. Unfortunately, the two seem to work together now to torture me. I've been tested for everything under the sun, including perimenopause. I'm on a wait list to be tested for sleep apnea. I was found to have low testosterone, despite having PCOS. I have multiple vitamin/mineral deficiencies that required prescription medication. I've been working on my CBT for anxiety, the 'accept and float' method. It's frustrating when I have setbacks as severe as this past week has been for me. And though the vitamins and minerals haven't had time to replenish, and sleep apnea hasn't been ruled out, I can't help but feel this may be a hormonal problem. I may be trying too hard to fix the anxiety and depression, but I can't rule out a physiological cause. Is anyone in a similar situation?
Mine started three months ago, too! The doctor diagnosed me with anxiety/stress & put me on Lexapro. It seems as if it came out of nowhere. I was sad about some things but not THAT sad. It comes around the start of my cycle & then leaves right at the end. Didn't like the way the meds made me feel. I went back to my CBD oil which helps a little. I figure my hormones are out of wack, too. I'm also seeing a therapist. Just tell yourself when you feel down that this feeling is temporary. Journaling, yoga, therapy, meditation helps. Diet change# I'm new to this but I hope I won't have to suffer long with it. I pray to God I don't.
@@22PinkAmber My doctor prescribed a tranquilizer and an antidepressant, and told me to see a therapist. The therapist confirmed what I had suspected, that the sudden onset of an anxiety/panic disorder in adulthood usually has a physiological cause. My doctor hasn't been any help. Everything I know I've had to research on my own. The CBT techniques of Dr. Claire Weekes have been my saving grace. Thanks for the advice, and good luck to you.
@@bamabelle7075 Thank you! I've had to research on my own. I start CBT with my therapist next week. I've been looking into taking magnesium & B12 to help balance my hormones. Idk what to do. If you find something that helps you please let me know. I will do the same.
Thank you so much Dr.Maria for bring this critical topic to the forefront. It is so true that the we need holistic approach to health. Thank you so much
I think i have pmdd my doctor referred me to a psychologist after complaining about feeling so depressed a couple weeks in the month. I asked if it could be related to my menstruel cycle and he said no because my hormone levels are normal. I just want it to stop a few weeks each month i feel depressed and suicidal, my brain fog is so bad that i can hardly concentrate on anything. Yet i feel like no one understands or takes me seriously i really hope the psychologist can help
I have PMDD and you sound similar to me. The tests Dr.'s have doesn't usually pick up PMDD. I've recently heard about the Dutch Plus test and will likely do that soon to really pinpoint all the ins and outs of my cycle. You can check out IAPMD for more info on PMDD. Much love to you on your journey.
I know it’s been a couple months, but I hope you see this. PMDD studies show that PMDD is not necessarily affected by hormone levels. Rather, people with PMDD react to their regular levels of hormones differently than people without PMDD.

I'm pretty sure it is PMDD... How are you doing now? :o
Very Informative talk, Thank You, Marwa.
Amazing TedTalk. We need more women with this voice
Wow, I learned a lot in this video. I'm on hormonal pill now cause of the almost 5cm cyst I have. Thank you for the great video!
Thank you for sharing. Jazakallah khair
Thank you so much Dr.Maria for bring this critical topic to the forefront. It is so true that the we need holistic approach to health. Thank you so much
I think i have pmdd my doctor referred me to a psychologist after complaining about feeling so depressed a couple weeks in the month. I asked if it could be related to my menstruel cycle and he said no because my hormone levels are normal. I just want it to stop a few weeks each month i feel depressed and suicidal, my brain fog is so bad that i can hardly concentrate on anything. Yet i feel like no one understands or takes me seriously i really hope the psychologist can help
I have PMDD and you sound similar to me. The tests Dr.'s have doesn't usually pick up PMDD. I've recently heard about the Dutch Plus test and will likely do that soon to really pinpoint all the ins and outs of my cycle. You can check out IAPMD for more info on PMDD. Much love to you on your journey.
I know it’s been a couple months, but I hope you see this. PMDD studies show that PMDD is not necessarily affected by hormone levels. Rather, people with PMDD react to their regular levels of hormones differently than people without PMDD.
Such an Amazing Talk!!!👏👏
Powerful, informative, and well spoken.
