What Causes PMS?

As part of your menstrual cycle, your body goes through immense hormonal changes. There is a rapid dip in levels of oestrogen. This drop can, in turn, cause a drop in the levels of serotonin in your brain. Serotonin is the chemical responsible for maintaining emotional balance and your high spirits. This is why your mood begins to oscillate and you go from screaming to crying to smiling all in a matter of a single minute.
