Prof. Jayashri Kulkarni talks about Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder in The Guardian

'Like someone flicked a switch': the premenstrual disorder that upturns women's lives.
 
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder, only recently recognised, can cripple women emotionally, physically and mentally. PMDD affects between 3% and 8% of women of reproductive age. It’s caused by fluctuations in hormone levels which affect brain chemistry and result in severe mood disturbances. Although women have been battling this condition for generations, PMDD has been recognised as a clinical mental health condition for only six years.
