PMDD: A Handbook for Partners

By Liana Laverentz

Does your wife or girlfriend's personality change drastically every month? Like clockwork? You're far from alone. It could be Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder, or PMDD, a debilitating hormonal disorder which affects 3 - 8% of women in their fertile years, including many using birth control. PMDD is what makes it seem like she's gone Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on you once, sometimes twice a month. Sometimes even for half of each month or more. Inspired by the most-read posts in the blog Living on a Prayer, Living with PMDD, this book is for the partners of women with PMDD. Inside you will find insights as to what is going on in her mind during her seemingly inexplicable bouts of confusion, irritability, anger, rage, fear, anxiety, sadness and/or despair, what contributes to her state of emotional chaos, and tips on how to cope with and care for the woman you love during these, her most vulnerable days of the month. There's no need for you to ride the rollercoaster of PMDD like you do. There are ways for you to help her manage her PMDD. Let this book help you do just that, and find peace in the midst of the wildly careening emotions that PMDD brings into your relationship and life.

Liana Laverentz

Award-winning author Liana Laverentz wrote three contemporary romances before she turned her writing skills to another subject near and dear to her heart, PMDD, and its impact on real-life relationships for women the world over. Her most current release is PMDD: A Handbook for Partners, a spinoff of her widely acclaimed PMDD and Relationships, a non-fiction book based on posts and reader comments from her popular blog, Living on a Prayer, Living with PMDD. PMDD is an often debilitating women's hormonal issue/mood disorder, suffered by up to ten percent of women between puberty and menopause, that destroys relationships. For more information, please go to www.livingonaprayerwithpmddblogspot.com. To read more about Liana's romance novels, go to www.lianalaverentz.com. Liana spends her spare time reading (what else?), researching (mostly PMDD these days), walking in circles (at the YMCA while she plans books and blog posts), making soup (it helps her to think and feeds her friends, too!), and traveling (to meet friends new and old, relax, and inspire her writing!).
