Dr. Daniel Heller, The Creator Of PMSComfort.com, Urges Increased Awareness Of The Potentially Debilitating Conditions PMDD And PMS, Calling Attention To Non-Medical Causes And Solutions

A study published recently in the Journal of Women’s Health showed that women who perceived even subtle prejudice were more likely to have PMDD: in fact, this study found that subtle discrimination contributed more to PMDD than did the overt variety.
