The Dr Louise Newson Podcast · 101 – Luteal Uglies - what does this mean? · 15 Sep 2026 podcast

She becomes very cross, very argumentative.

One day in her month, she actually feels like ending everything.

And she's got a strong family history, actually.

Sadly, her mother did end her life, and she thinks it was related to her hormones.

Her sister also has similar symptoms and two of her nieces too as well.

But they don't know where to go to.

They didn't even know that there was a treatment available.

So they've just been trying to support each other.

And a lot of people who write the PMS and PMDD guidelines are funded by pharmaceutical companies.

Guidelines still to this day, in 2026, they still write about antidepressants, even antipsychotics.

But also when they write about hormones, they only refer to synthetic hormones, which are not actually hormones.

Hopefully some of you have read my book, The Power of Hormones, or know from some of the work that I produce that contraception, although they're called hormonal contraception, they do not contain hormones.

They contain a synthetic chemical, which has a similar but different chemical structure to our own hormones.

And in that way, they block the action of our own hormones working in our body.

So to block a hormone that has beneficial effects in our brain and body does not make sense when we're trying to help women with PMS and PMDD.

And this is what Katrina Dalton knew, wrote about extensively decades ago and is still ignored.

So women who have any symptoms in their menstrual cycle, the first thing I would do is do a symptom questionnaire and maybe do it at different times of the menstrual cycle.

So do it just after your period, then do it in the middle of your cycle, then do it before your period and compare.

And a lot of people have a lot more symptoms in the second half of their cycle.

It might just be for a day or two before the period.
