Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
PMDD is similar to depression, but it only shows up right before a menstrual period.
Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD)
DMDD is diagnosed in young children who have extreme tantrums and irritability.
Seasonal Affective Disorder
Seasonal affective disorder is a form of depression that only happens during certain times of year.
