Can Stopping Birth Conrol Pills Decrease PMDD Symtoms?

My daughter has been diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Her symptoms seem to increase around day 10-12 of her menstrual cycle. She has been on various birth control pills for period regulaiton. She was recently put on Yaz for PMDD. She is midway through her third cycle of Yaz and the symptoms started again. She is on an antidepressant (Pristia). My questio is should she stop taking birth control to see if this helps to decrease the PMDD symtoms?
