Granville Mental Disorders

The diagnosis of hysteria was still in the diagnosis book of the American Psychological Association until the early 1950s. How do medical institutions continue to pathologize (make normal bodily processes seem like disease) women’s bodies?
Medical Institutions still pathologize women’s bodies. One such instance of this is through their diagnoses of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). The American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) categorizes it as a disorder, despite the fact that little research supports the existence of PMDD.
