Mastering the Monthly Madness
How Therapy Helps Ease the Mayhem of PMDD
by Nadine Evans

You’ve probably been told, “It’s just PMS.” Or heard, “You’re just being dramatic!” Or perhaps even, “Take two aspirin and calm down.” You’ve likely been told, “This is normal.” But here’s the thing: it might not be. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) often goes unnoticed and misunderstood—especially by the millions of people who have it around the globe. Nadine Evans spent decades being told all those things every 28 days or so while her premenstrual symptoms did their best to bring her world crashing down. A diagnosis of PMDD changed her life, and she’s decided to spend the rest of it helping other people who are suffering and may not know why. If the lead-up to your period sees you hit an emotional rock bottom, month after month after month, you may have PMDD. If you think—or know—you have PMDD, this book is for you. Mastering the Monthly Madness is a workbook that helps you develop the coping skills you need—not to just survive your cycle, but to thrive.
