The Truths & Monstrous Myths of PMDD, With Author Emma Hardy
Q: And if thinking you have bad PMS is your way of discovering that this is actually PMDD, then isn't that language kind of helpful?

The Truths & Monstrous Myths of PMDD, With Author Emma Hardy
Q: Before we get too much into the book, how would you describe PMDD to someone who hasn't heard of it before?
Emma describes PMDD as an extreme form of the menstrual cycle where symptoms are severe enough to be mistaken for other mood disorders, and emphasizes that it is not simply 'bad PMS' but a distinct, impactful condition that affects daily life.
