The Truth about PMS and Mental Health | Therapy for Thoughts – Ep. 11

The link between PMS and mental health has been well known with the help of medical research. Behavioural and emotional symptoms such as moodiness, sadness, irritability and anger are quite prevalent amongst people around their periods. This podcast episode is in collaboration with Ms. Haveesha Buddhdev, a mental health professional from India, and Ms Shivangi from Girl Up Mukti.

GirlUp Mukti is an organisation in affiliation with GirlUp, a UN recognized group that actively works to secure equal opportunities for underprivileged adolescent girls in developing countries.
