PMDD and Relationships

August 20, 2025
A couple sits on a bed, separated. The man is distraught, covering his face. Sunlight streams through a window.

PMDD can cause interpersonal conflict and destroy relationships. For the final part of PMDD awareness month, Dr Becky Saadian talks to Aaron Kinghorn. Aaron is a board member of IAPMD (International Association for Premenstrual Disorders) and author of ‘Hope A Guide to PMDD for Partners and Caregivers’. Aaron has had 15 years’ experience of living alongside PMDD through supporting his wife, Jude. He has also provided direct peer support to hundreds of partners with PMDD. Aaron is also the co-author of a first-of-its-kind study looking into the lived experience of partners of women with PMDD

Aarons book: ‘Hope A Guide to PMDD for Partners and Caregivers’, can be purchased on Amazon. All proceeds go to IAPMD.
