Stephanie Gray from Edinburgh received a life-changing diagnosis after she struggled to get doctors to take her symptoms seriously.
A Scots student who didn't know what was wrong with her claims an episode of Loose Woman her mum watched 'saved' her life.
Whilst studying at the University of Dundee, Stephanie attempted suicide at the age of 19, after symptoms increased in severity - causing her to seek help."I was becoming suicidal every month before my period arrived. I'd shift from relatively normal life to being suicidal, and that happened every single month without fail."
She quickly shared the news with her psychiatric nurse, who she claimed quickly dismissed her theory - starting a year-long process of obtaining a diagnosis. Following years of questions, she found a sexual health clinic in Edinburgh that helped her get an official diagnosis of PMDD and prescribed her a combined contraceptive pill to help manage her symptoms.
