Teenager with PMS
Question
Hello! My daughter is 16-years-old. She doesn’t report having problems with her periods. My concern is about her mood swings right before her period is about to start. She is ADHD and takes Concerta just to get her through the school day. She doesn’t take this medication on weekends or all summer. This last bout with PMS was the worst we’ve ever experienced with her. She lost her temper and said some terrible things to me. It was awful! It’s not what she does. It’s what she says. She said things no one should ever say to their mother. It was like listening to an angry spue of anger toward me, God, and everyone. After she started her period, she was like a changed person!
Some have suggested that I take her to a gynecologist to ask about having her start taking BCP’s. I know she wants to do her best to stay celibate as we have talked a lot about this. I don’t want to encouarge her to have sex. I can’t stand to be subjected to that horrid behavior, anytime soon! Please advise!
