It's great to see the condition being given airtime on Emmerdale
Emmerdale has been praised by a mum-of-two and premenstrual dysphoric disorder sufferer following Cathy Hopes diagnosis.
Single mother-of-two Carla Banksby, 29, was diagnosed with PMDD in 2015 and has spoken out about the importance of Emmerdale highlighting the topic. "The disorder affected my life in many ways from starting school to relationships and friendships. I left school when I was 12 due to feelings of anxiety within the school environment, because of this I went to alternative education that was local to me and very small. I was extremely lucky to have been provided with this alternative as the education system could have easily left me with no GCSEs, which in turn would have affected me in later life.
Symptoms are both physical and emotional and can include mood swings, difficulty concentrating and feeling upset, hopeless, angry, anxious or overwhelmed. As well as breast tenderness or swelling, joint and muscle pain, headaches, bloating and trouble sleeping. "The treatment that eventually worked for me was antidepressants, these took the edge off of the symptoms to a small degree along with exercise, although this is very tricky to stick to when feeling depressed and have no motivation.
