PMDD is very real and very hard to deal with. I was just recently Diagnosed with PMDD and it is a relief to know that I am not crazy. It took me a long time to seek help from a Dr. because I was embarresed and just assumed that these immense bouts of anger, violence and aggression, would be passed of as just "that time of the month". I became extremely sad during my cycle, ate above and beyond what was needed, felt like I had mono because I was so tired, but it was the uncontrollable anger and outbursts that became unbearable. I wish more people knew about this and knew that there is treatment that works. My family is much happier now that I am treated and no longer become this crazy wild women once a month.
