I Blame the Hormones: Living with Reproductive Depression

Having suffered PMDD since 1985 i can honestly say this made me cry. I don’t know anyone else (apart from my daughter ) who has this horrific illness that is soul destroying.My daughter has trauma therapy to deal with the devastating impact. If you have PMDD then buying this book will help anyone you know reach out for support. A lot of managing this will fall to the individual to make lifestyle changes, counselling ,medication . To have your world fall apart for 2 weeks a month every month is not easy to accept. This book will point you in the right direction .

This is a must read if you suffer or know anyone that suffers with reproductive depression!The author has covered everything in great heartfelt detail…I can’t thank this author enough for writing this book….I’m sure it’s going to be around a long time to help people all over the world with this misunderstood illness

This book is amazing, I felt I was reading my life story. I started sending screen shots to my family and friends to show them I’m not alone in this struggle with hormonal issues and post natal depression that had ruined my life. I’m now under a consultant and I insisted my GP referred me rather than saying just get on with it. Thank you.

Highly recommend reading this book if you are a female experiencing any issues with mental health. Also if you know a female struggling. Just knowing what is wrong can lift a huge amount of concern & stress. This book has helped my daughter control her symptoms and helped me to help her. It’s been life changing for us.

I've always had a hormone imbalance, which at age 40 I'm finally getting help for. I found this book so informative. It's crazy how much our hormones can effect us and even though I didn't go through half of what this poor lady did it made me realise how much my hormones have played such a big part in who I was (or wasn't I should say)! Really opened my eyes, thank you for sharing your story 🙏

At last a book to recognise PMDD with a real-life story. Battling since I was 7 years old with my hormones from blacking out to horrendous mood swings. Thank you for sharing your story. My 15 Yr old is now reading your book. She asked why isn't this covered in PSHE/sex Ed at schools. I completely agree, this should be part of the school curriculum. We will give the book to her dad next, you've made the read so simple it's like an idiots guide that any man, woman and child can eventually understand, empathise and support those suffering. Thank you.

I cannot recommend this book enough. A raw and honest account of the truth about hormone disorders. There were many times I became very emotional, it was like this book was written about my own life. Thankfully I am a survivor of PMDD however this doesn’t stop me from educating myself further about hormonal disorders. I wish I had had the chance to read this when I was so poorly. My husband has also read the book and commented that it definitely gets the message across that a conversation alone couldn’t.This book is extremely informative and easy to understand! A great read and all round book to help you understand how much is involved with treating and finding the help at a time when women feel so vulnerable.The author of this book has clearly taken the time and gone to many lengths to create such a great platform to help women and their families to deliver the right information needed. So often women are being wrongly diagnosed or even dismissed.There is no doubt in my mind that this book will help to save someone’s life.

Amazing book! I couldn't put it down once I started. I could literally have written it myself. I read every page, highlighting things and taking photos to share with my husband cause it just sounds like me! Took your book with me to the gynecologist and with the help and information provided, along with links suggested in the book, I've been able to get a diagnosis of PMDD and a treatment plan. I'm almost 43 and for most of those years, I've felt like I was two different people or going insane. Finally, it all makes sense and I cannot tell you the relief that I feel. Thank you Caroline Church you have literally changed my life!
