A large study from Sweden explored the link between premenstrual disorders (PMDs) and postpartum depression (PND). Researchers found that women with a history of PMDs were more likely to develop PND, and vice versa. This study highlights the shared connection between both conditions, which are influenced by hormonal changes during the reproductive years. The findings suggest that addressing PMDs early may help prevent PND and that managing PND can reduce the risk of future PMDs. This bidirectional relationship emphasizes the importance of integrated care for women dealing with both conditions.
