[h=1]Women with extreme PMS will now be deemed 'mentally ill' following controversial revision of health manual[/h]
Women who suffer from consistently severe mood swings during their menstrual periods are now being diagnosed with mental illness.

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), sometimes referred to as 'PMS on steroids', is formally recognized in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

But the decision to categorize this condition as full-fledged disorder has divided opinion, with critics stating that it only contributes to stereotypes about women being emotionally unstable once a month.

Indeed, one commentator wrote on Jezebel.com: 'I actually have PMDD and take birth control to help it (which does work, btw [sic]). Personally, I do find it insulting that PMDD is lumped into the category of psychological disorders.

'Although I do sometimes get intensely depressed for a short amount of time before my period, I think the physical symptoms that accompany the emotional stuff and the fact that it's entirely period related should qualify it as a body problem and not a mental one.


'Admitting you have PMDD definitely has some social stigma also.'


The criteria for diagnosis include 'marked irritability', 'anger', 'increased interpersonal conflicts', 'feelings of hopelessnes', 'lethargy', 'insomnia' and a 'marked change in appetite' during 'most' menstrual cycles.

Desh is old and dried up, but the younger Sob Sisters seem to have synchronized their cycles.

Does Obamacare cover that?

If you mean psychology, your post couldn't make it any more clear that the field is not for you.

Try accounting, maybe you'll do better with numbers than with humans.

Its pisskop


from this guys past posts hes a fucking sociopath.

Sociopaths don't make good leaders of humans.

They are a better fit for things like cleaning our sewers.

they should NEVER have ANY power over human life.

Yeah I know the little flytrap changed his name, what an ego.

People who think helping those with emotional issues is "enabling their shit" should be forbidden to work in that field.

I have a deep interest in the mind, or as I casually tell people what we believe and why. And futthermore, whilewhat I say here I believe, I am fully capale of at least understanding, even emotionally, why people adopt differing, views.
i think you fall into the belief that all psychologists are emotional, compassionate creatures.

You have to have some empathy for the human condition if you want to help those who are damaged. It doesn't mean you let it override training.

Should I go get your quote?


anyone who thinks most people are NOT GOOD should not be working with human beings.

You should be SITTING on the couch not in the helpers seat
