I suffer with pms /pmdd .

I am writing this to inform you that Social Services and Family Courts are diagnosing people with Personality Disorders and other nonsense.

This then leads to the removal of children with no chance of them being returned.

My mother always stated i had been fine growing up until i started my periods.

Then while forced to go into a mother and baby unit the nurses and Psychiatrist there reported a marked change in my mood before my period.

Also I had weekly counselling with Womens Aid who also noticed the same.

Social Services refused to acknowledge it.

As the APA (American Psychiatric Association) ponders whether or not to include premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD–severe PMS) in the DSM-V, Newsweek reports on recent research suggesting that the condition may have a genetic component. The research is far from conclusive however, having been conducted on mice (and only sixteen of them).

Newswise — Scientists have identified a gene they say is a strong candidate for involvement in premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and other maladies associated with the natural flux in hormones during the menstrual cycle. In a paper to be published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Rockefeller University researchers detail experiments in mice showing that a common human variant of the gene increases anxiety, dampens curiosity and tweaks the effects of estrogen on the brain, impairing memory.

To give you a sense of what I am talking about, consider the 15-year-old who had suffered from progressive emotional disturbances ever since her periods began three years before coming to see me. About one week prior to each period, her anxiety levels would rise dramatically and she would become irritable, volatile and have great difficulty sleeping. On the first day of her period, relief would come and she would be back to normal, fearing the next go-round 21 days later.

Pre Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a condition marked by severe depression symptoms, irritability, and tension before menstruation. We show you ways of dealing with it.
Mood swings, bloated sensations, pain, anxiety, irritability and food cravings are the regular symptoms evident at the onset of the menstruation cycle, generally termed as PMS or Pre Menstrual Syndrome. But if you feel excessive mental and physical distress, then it requires medical attention immediately, as you may be suffering from Pre Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD).

In the recent days the information that women are getting more and more affected with severe premenstrual syndrome are more likely to have permanently depressed nervous system, have come to the fore. The same has been revealed by a recently conducted research by eminent researchers of Japan. It has come to the knowledge by the research conducted by Tamaki Matsumoto from the International Buddhist University in Osaka to determine whether the natural process of the central nervous system, which is known to play a highly imperative role in the maintenance of the perfect equilibrium of the human body, went to a process of thorough change at the time of the menstrual cycle.

Grown men are taught at an early age never to upset mommy or big sister during “her time” of the month. It’s the five bitchiest days we ladies experience. And just so you guys know, we’re mostly not aware of it depending on how severely our hormones sink (think Titanic!). So don’t go thinking we have any memory of throwing that shoe horn at your head or duct taping your scrotum to the back of your right knee while you were sleeping. Just try convicting us and we’ll plead temporary PMS (Pre-menstrual Syndrome). For the record, we also claim post-menstrual syndrome, and present-menstrual syndrome to suit our Jekyll/Hyde moods.

Now hold on one hormonal minute…Vaccinating Teens During Menstrual Phase May Increase Adverse Reactions

Why has there not been any mention of the potentially adverse effects of Merck’s cervical cancer vaccination, Gardasil® in relationship to the timing of the inoculation and where a young woman is in her menstrual cycle? This information is especially critical considering the vaccination is recommended for adolescent girls from the age of nine to young women up to 26-years.

Why is it that women are constantly forced into a male medical model which blatantly ignores their menstrual health and administers drugs, surgeries, and vaccinations without any regard to where they are in their hormone cycle?

This is outrageous. Even though women are asked to fill out the date of their last menstrual period (LMP) that information is used primarily to note that a woman is not pregnant. But it is much more valuable than that; the date of the LMP could actually be indicative of why that woman is in the doctor’s office to begin with.
