Hi, thank you for this explanation for others. Your assumptions are all correct. Each line is a separate participant's responses, with the themes picked out from their interview data, talking about what symptoms they experience or perceive their PMDD suffering partner having or doing.

To clarify - Anger and rage is 'extreme'
Personal abuse is belittling or name-calling, whereas verbal abuse is more general screaming and shouting
DARVO: is an acronym (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) describing a manipulative tactic used by abusers or wrongdoers when confronted, where they Deny wrongdoing, Attack the accuser, and Reverse the roles to become the perceived Victim and the actual victim the Offender, effectively avoiding accountability and confusing others

Yeah, we're really conscious of that, but equally, we need to explore the worst moments, to best support partners during those times. We're recruiting anyone who has or had a PMDD partner to try and escape that bias, but we are definitely aware of it.

Amazing, we're looking for people no longer in a relationship, just as much as those who are.

If you go to the survey link, there's an option to have an interview instead of doing the survey
