Philadelphia Integrative Psychiatry, with its commitment to holistic and research-driven care, recognizes the significant impact of hormonal changes on mental health, especially during pivotal life transitions like menopause.

We pride ourselves on our commitment to providing the most current, research-backed treatments for conditions like Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). Our approach is holistic, considering not just the symptoms but the whole person.

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a condition that goes beyond the typical discomforts of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), bringing severe emotional and physical symptoms that can disrupt daily life for days to weeks, every month. We'll explore how Chasteberry, also known as Vitex agnus-castus, has been traditionally used to ease these symptoms and what recent research says about its effectiveness.

Chasteberry is available as a dietary supplement and has not been approved by the FDA for medical use. This means it's essential to purchase from reputable sources to ensure quality and safety.
