Mental Illness and Compounded Vulnerability: Case Study: PMDD - Georgetown University, Dec 6 2015
"This website investigates how the label of mental illness can compound vulnerabilities in historically disadvantaged populations. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder is one such label."
Why Is PMDD Problematic?
"...the level of scientific evidence required for a category that targets a historically marginalized population and reinforces stereotypes of that population, as PMDD does, should be significantly higher than the level required for other categories."
I'll add more of my own thoughts and analysis soon. Worth the read.
