In an emotional social media post, the 'Dhunki' singer revealed her diagnoses of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD). Although she was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia two years ago, she had been concerned about her overall health for a long time. Bhasin began her Instagram post with an honest and heartfelt reflection on her experiences.

“I want to say a lot but I really don’t know where to even begin or how to consolidate the helpless hell I am experiencing. After Years of knowing something is off. Finally with more awareness medically today comes the Diagnosis (on paper since 2 years, I have known since I was 20 ) which helps get the right treatments for mental and hormonal illnesses with all of this comes major realisation and then THE acceptance that At least for now my nervous system feels broken,” her post read.

In her post, she further wrote about a range of symptoms, including chronic fatigue, physical and emotional pain, anxiety, and recurring episodes of depression. She also discussed past traumas, unhealthy eating patterns, and sleep disturbances, and emphasized the importance of therapy as part of her ongoing journey.

“My monthly PMDD still finds a way to throw me in an old dark hole or dig many new ones. Is this my failure? Asks my OCPD.. Flares up what my DR calls Fibromyalgia which now I am finally ACCEPTING too.. I have worked out. Danced, and performed through pain for years thinking am just tight so stretch more. Mt therapist says for some time do NOTHING. REST,” she further wrote.

What Is Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)? Signs and Symptoms to Watch Out For

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that affects women worldwide. This disorder occurs during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (the time between ovulation and the start of menstruation).

Depression or Sadness: Persistent feelings of hopelessness or sadness.

Anxiety or Tension: Excessive worry, nervousness, or feelings of being on edge.

Irritability or Anger: Frequent irritability, anger, or increased conflict with others.
