Women as young as 30 in Northern Ireland are having to undergo extreme treatments to deal with severe psychological symptoms linked to their periods, with two women telling BBC News NI their symptoms were so debilitating they wanted to die.
Women experience extreme psychological upset for two weeks prior to their period and once their period comes, the symptoms subside.Health professionals believe it could be genetic or, for some, their central nervous system is particularly sensitive to hormonal changes or find coping with stress very difficult.
Jennifer Messit, 39, lives in Dublin and, at her worst, said she had "suicide ideations, feelings of worthlessness and every two weeks just wanted to kill myself". "When all is said and done and your friends and family are going on to have children, it does hurt the heart a lot," she said.Dr Frances Stewart said 86% of those diagnosed will have had suicidal thoughts
"Women describe themselves as two different people throughout their cycle. Once ovulation happens these women are extremely sensitive to the changes in their hormones and their ability to deal with quality of life plummets," Dr Stewart said.
