Before treatment of PMDD anyone who thinks they may be suffering from this condition should seek proper medical advice. At the Marion Gluck Clinic, we will look at your symptoms, history and situation, taking a comprehensive medical and menstrual history.

This helps create a proper understanding of what is happening to your hormone levels when symptoms are most evident. If a hormone deficiency is diagnosed, treatment will be prescribed to help correct the imbalance.
