Considering the circumstances within which PMS tends to manifests itself one could question whether it is such a dysfunctional phenomenon after all. In fact, some kind of utility might even be attributed to this mood alteration as an indicator of surrounding dysfunctionality. It is important to maintain openness to the possibility that PMS might be hinting towards the existence of prejudicial personal circumstances. The communication and expression that something is wrong allows for the possibility of a change to be made but not if the cries for help are constantly undermined by medicine or psychiatry. PMS can be valued for its indicatorial ability as well as its capacity to motivate the sufferer to stop trying to cope with intolerable and stressful circumstances. At this point it is worth noting that what is being referred to here are circumstances which might be destructive not only for the PMS sufferer but for those within the person´s close social group. PMS is not a symptom of a dysfunctional woman´s body but rather a symptom of a dysfunctional society. academia.edu/243707/Pre-Menstrual_Sindrome_An_Anthropological_Perspective
