I can’t think of many advantages to society by having PMDD become a treatable, mental illness. The only thing I could possibly relate this to is that it could be an advantage to the workers in society because they don’t have to deal with the complaints of women when they are labeled with PMDD and get the medication for it. The Final Period article talks about how in the past, “When Rosie the Riveter was needed in American factories and recruits in the Women’s Army Corps, the War Department produced films telling women of the abundance of scientific evidence proving periods are no big deal” which is saying that they were able to get over it, it seems like now women are letting in take over and at work they are taking more sicks days. If they

One of the biggest changes between the DSM-IV-TR and DSM-5 is that the two subtypes have been developed into their own, distinct disorders. Reactive Attachment Disorder is similar to the Inhibited Type subtype, while Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder is similar to Disinhibited Type (APA, 2013).

People with this disorder tend to compulsively lie and manipulate people for their own personal gain while feeling no guilt or remorse for their actions (Comer, 2008). This chronic personality disorder is first observed in childhood or adolescence in the form of conduct disorder.
