Lynda is a mother of two young boys, living on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia, she is also a survivor of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder - a condition very few people have heard of. She is passionate about raising awareness of PMDD so that other people who are living with it don’t continue to suffer alone and undiagnosed. Below she discusses the frustration of people confusing the disorder and downplaying it as PMS, a reaction all too common for fellow women who present symptoms– even her doctor dismissed her first consult.
