PMS & PMDD: Exploring the intersection between menstrual & mental health.

Welcome to episode 8 of Season 2 on CTRH Podcast & Happy International Women’s Day!  Today I am joined by the remarkable Dr.Hope Simiyu, a medical doctor by profession, but a trailblazer, working in the non-clinical space and in content creation. She summoned me recently to discuss Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) and its more severe form, Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). As we know, these conditions affect many women but yet continue to be minimised and not taken with much seriousness in society. For this episode, we present a fun twist! Let’s give a loud round of applause for Dr. Hope as she takes the stage as my first ever guest host! So, join in on our conversation and let’s learn a little bit about the poorly understood intersection between menstrual and mental health.
