Chronic pain of any variety is linked with increased depression and anxiety. This is particularly true of chronic menstrual pain which is often written off as a normal part of having a period. However, there's a point where pain goes from being a normal part of menstruation to a chronic health condition. Among teenage mensturators, the number one cause of missed school is period related pain. The costs of missing even two days every month over the course of the roughly 40 years the average person menstruates adds up to a huge loss of quality of life, educational, and economic opportunities.
