A little bit, my sister has/had it. It is very treatable. Probably misunderstood also - some women are made fun of or people think they are just attention seeking or being too sensitive or histrionic, but I can tell you this is one awful disease that goes way beyond PMS. She would be in her bed for days, unable to have a clear thought in her head except for desires and plans to kill herself. Moody, throwing things, emotional pain beyond belief. Days later she'd be fine. It was bizarre.
She got treatment and is fine now, so there is much hope. (And she got well before there was "serafem" or whatever it's called, the expensive new drugs might not be required, but definitely a medical doctor should evaluate).

I know about it all too well. My therapist and I have recently discovered that it is PMDD causing my emotional breakdowns every month. I would cry for a week straight. My mood swings actually scared people to the point where I was spoken to at work and my boyfriend left me. It is definitely not something to mess around with. PMS is one thing, PMDD is a much more severe issue. I get really bad headaches, bloating, my entire body aches. I burst into tears at any time, my anger gets uncontrollable, all I want to do is eat. It is crazy.

PMDD is a severe form of PMS which is characterized by severe emotional and physical symptoms.
What exactly did you want to know about it?
