PMDD is a recently recognized disorder, being added to the Diagnostic Statistical Model (DSM) in 2013. Approximately 3-8% of people who menstruate experience Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD); one study noted that the prevalence could be as high as 12%. In the simplest terms, PMDD is a more intense and disruptive version of the more commonly known PMS (premenstrual syndrome).
