Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder requires symptoms to start in which timeframe relative to menses?

Explanation:
PMDD symptoms are tied to the luteal phase of the cycle. They typically emerge in the week before menses and then lessen within a few days after menses begins. This timing—starting about a week before menses—distinguishes PMDD from symptoms that would start during menses, earlier in the cycle, or after menses ends.
