[Abstract] Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a unique emotional disease of women, which seriously affects the life and health of women of childbearing age. At present, its pathogenesis is still unclear. Recent studies have shown that the function of affective circuit composed of "prefrontal-anterior cingulate cortex-amygdala-hippocampus-cerebellum" may be closely related to the pathogenesis of PMDD. The paper reviews the brain function of the related brain regions and brain intervals of PMDD, and provide reference for finding the neuropathy mechanism of PMDD.
