Hailey Bieber Details Emotional Rollercoaster of PMDD Diagnosis After Son Jack Blues’ Birth: ‘Just a Really Intense and Special Journey’
The model and Rhode founder has talked before about the difficulty of premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a more severe form of premenstrual syndrome.
Hailey Bieber recently shared her emotional journey of dealing with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) after the birth of her son, Jack Blues, in a new interview with Women’s Wear Daily. PMDD is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome that can cause intense emotional symptoms such as depression, anxiety, mood swings, and tearfulness.
Bieber noted that there is a lack of conversation and research around PMDD, especially postpartum, which led her to advocate for more open discussions among women. Since her diagnosis six months after giving birth, Bieber has been candid about her struggles, hoping that sharing her experience will make it feel less isolating for other women.
In response to her advocacy, Rhode cosmetics recently announced a $5 million, three-year partnership with the Foundation for Women’s Health to support medical research, education, and care in areas typically underfunded.
