My daughter has done self diagnosis.
She feels she may have this.
pmdd

Why do you feel so bad before your period? You could feel this way if you have PMDD, the intense mood and physical symptoms that happen the week or two before your period, month after month.
PMDD is a distinct medical condition. Common symptoms include irritability, sadness, sudden mood changes, tension, bloating, and breast tenderness. The many symptoms of PMDD can markedly interfere with your daily activities and relationships and can make you feel out of control. Some women describe PMDD as frustrating, surprising, tiring, or even isolating. It can take away your enjoyment of family, friends, or work. Some think it’s part of being a woman or PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome). But for millions it is PMDD.
While PMDD is not fully understood, many doctors believe it may be caused by an imbalance of a chemical in the body called serotonin. The normal cyclical changes in female hormones may interact with serotonin and other chemicals, and the changes may result in the mood and physical symptoms of PMDD.


I am going to consult her doctor. Just for a second opinion.
If anyone has heard of this or has had similar symptoms - let me know how you might handle them.
