When Priscilla Mutai first began experiencing extreme fatigue, migraines, and mood swings in her late teens, she chalked it up to stress or ordinary premenstrual symptoms. It wasn’t until years later—after academic setbacks, emotional breakdowns, and multiple misdiagnoses—that she discovered what was truly happening inside her body and mind: she was living with both Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
“Having ADHD, I already have major issues concentrating, but when PMDD is added onto that, my brain just melts away,” says Priscilla, now 21. “The lack of concentration comes with brain fog where I cannot even construct a sentence.”
Priscilla’s journey mirrors that of countless women navigating a stormy cycle, where hormones ignite mental chaos and ADHD becomes nearly unmanageable.
