with impairment in functioning, interference with relationships
and activities, and decreased work productivity.
From the subjective view of women with PMDD,
interpersonal relationship interference is more problematic
than work interference. Impaired functioning
significantly affects the group of women with subthreshold
PMDD/severe PMS as well as women with
PMDD, expanding the burden of illness to approximately
1 in 5 women of reproductive age. The economic
impact seems to be more severe for the employer than
the health insurer, although prescription rates for
PMS or PMDD are likely to be underreported. The
pronounced negative impact of PMS and PMDD on
quality of life, interpersonal functioning, and work
productivity emphasizes the need for research inquiry
into treatments for this burdensome disorder.
