More Than PMS

For one or two weeks of every month, a different person moves in — rage, despair, the marriage-ending thoughts that lift with the period like weather — PMDD is cyclical, severe, and diagnosable, and half its sufferers spent years being told it was just PMS.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts track the pattern: the symptom diaries that revealed the luteal signature, SSRIs dosed only half the month and the relief that felt like a trick, cycle-suppressing protocols, the surgical endpoint some writers chose after everything else, and partners learning the calendar. Writers include misdiagnoses of bipolar disorder corrected by charting, the workplace accommodations negotiated, postpartum intensifications, and the grief-and-vindication of a name arriving decades late.

Who it's for

For anyone whose worst weeks repeat on schedule, charting toward a diagnosis, or loving someone through the luteal fortnight.
