The first book to clearly explain this new disorder and offer treatment options

Afflicting an estimated 3 million women in the United States, PMDD is an extreme form of PMS in which the physical and psychological symptoms are often so severe that they strain social, familial, and work relationships to the breaking point. Despite the rapidly growing body of scientific research into its causes and cures, PMDD continues to be a bone of contention among medical professionals, and many women who suffer from it are still told that it''s all in their heads.

• Helps readers determine whether they have PMDD
• Explains the full spectrum of prescription and nonprescription drug therapies
• Covers major alternative treatments
• Features inspiring and informative case studies of women who have battled PMDD
