The PMDD Phenomenon: Breakthrough Treatments for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and Extreme Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

I started this book yesterday evening and couldn't put it down. I have been suffering from PMDD since adolescence, although I didn't know it. I really appreciated the sections in the book that said that PMDD is a real, measurable condition - not a moral failing, or a lack of mental or physical fortitude. It is so nice to have a source of thorough information PLUS encouragement and understanding. It is helping my husband and I understand what I go through every month and why. This information is going to change my life, I can already tell.

I have been counseling women and their spouses/partners for over 5 years about all aspects of PMS and PMDD, more especially how to effectively treat PMS and PMDD using specific nutrition and other life-style changes. I have been symptom free of my own severe PMDD for over 4 years now following these methods. I found this book to be an honest, well researched and insightful tool in helping women (and their spouses/partners) to understand this disorder from the inside out. I highly recommend it!

Finally someone who understands! Having being diagnosed as suffering PMDD only recently this book was an absolute God send. Now I finally understand what it is that's gripping me each month and I am not - as I feared losing my mind. For any woman who suffers PMS or worse please do yourself a favour and get this book, make your family read it, your friends, your boss... it's great to know we are not alone!

This book is wonderful! It is easy to read, easy to understand, and for once I feel like I really understand what works, what doesn't work, and why. I highly recommend this book for every woman who has PMS, PMDD, or is even just a little cranky once a month. This puts it all into perspective, and offers all kinds of solutions. Top-notch! Plus, I trust the information because it comes from a woman doctor who is both a psychiatrist AND an OB/GYN.
