News summary

Helen Flanagan, the former Coronation Street star, has opened up about her ongoing battle with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) through a humorous Instagram video, inspired by fellow celebrity Vicky Pattison. Diagnosed with PMDD in 2023, Flanagan describes experiencing severe symptoms including depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for approximately 10 days each month, particularly during the luteal phase. She humorously notes feeling like she has 'four personalities' in one month and expresses relief that her condition has become more manageable recently. Flanagan shared that she looks forward to her period as a sign of relief from her symptoms, and she has previously tried various treatments, including sertraline and the contraceptive pill, which were not effective for her. The actress aims to raise awareness about PMDD and encourages others to share their experiences and coping strategies. Her candidness highlights the challenges of living with this debilitating condition and the importance of discussing mental health openly.
