    Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and ADHD in women are common presentations seen in primary care, outpatient clinics and urgent cares. ADHD medication usage has surged 300% in reproductive aged women during the early 2000’s. Knowing how to recognize the signs, diagnosing early and offering appropriate treatment for all these disorders is important. Being able to answer common questions regarding medication and mental health during pregnancy and pre-conception planning for your female patient is crucial. How often do relapse occur if they stopped their meds?
