The first book to clearly explain this new disorder and offer treatment options Afflicting an estimated 3 million women in the United States, PMDD is an extreme form of PMS in which the physical and psychological symptoms are often so severe that they strain social, familial, and work relationships to the breaking point.

<li>Helps readers determine whether they have PMDD </li>
<li>Explains the full spectrum of prescription and nonprescription drug therapies </li>
<li>Covers major alternative treatments </li>
<li>Features inspiring and informative case studies of women who have battled PMDD </li>

Being diagnosed with an illness can be a time of worry, anxiety, and stress. Often, the immediate response is to gather as much information as you can about your or your loved one's illness. The reality is that the labyrinth of medical information now available in magazines, health journals, mainstream media, and on websites can be overwhelming and sometimes even unsettling if you don't understand how to use what you learn. After Any Diagnosis is the first book to help consumers create an information-gathering strategy -- one that will help patients and their families use their new knowledge effectively and responsibly. Based on interviews with top physicians across the country, patients' personal stories, and Carol Svec's extensive experience as a medical researcher and writer, After Any Diagnosis explains how to: * Find the most up-to-date books, articles, and journals about a specific illness * Know the difference between a good internet site and a misleading one * Weigh the reliability and accuracy of information, including the results of medical studies * Research doctors, caregivers, hospitals, and support groups -- and determine the value of second opinions * Interpret confusing medical statistics Many doctors will say that the most beneficial thing a patient can do to improve his or her health is to be well-informed. Let After Any Diagnosis give you the power and motivation to realize that goal.
