So we can't just be saying to these women, never mind about your symptoms, just try and do a bit of exercise or meditation or just bail out for a few days a month because we're harming their future health.
And as doctors, we have a responsibility to try and keep our patients as healthy as possible for as long as possible if we know in an evidence-based way a treatment that can help that.
And we certainly do know that with natural bioidentical hormones.
So when we're thinking about PMS, PMDD, the so-called luteal uglies, why are we normalizing it?
Why are we allowing people to just shrug it off or just cry it off often?
Because so many women I speak to feel very isolated, very alone.
They feel that they don't really know who to turn to.
And they find it very difficult to speak to people because it's like Jekyll and Hyde.
When their period comes and they feel well, they think, what's the fuss about?
I feel amazing.
I feel great.
I could conquer the world.
And then it happens and their mood changes and plummets.
They feel very isolated.
A lot of people become housebound.
They don't want to go out.
They have very intrusive thoughts.
A lot of women self-harm as well.
Anyone who's got any mental health condition, who's self-harming, being diagnosed with a personality disorder, with anxiety, any mental health condition, if they're a woman, the first thing the psychiatrist or the mental health team or the clinician should be asking is, are you feeling the same throughout your menstrual cycle?
And if you're not, we have to be thinking about hormones as a priority.
