PMDD Took My Daughter's Life - Donna

Published: Oct. 8, 2022, 3:34 p.m.

Bachelor fans may recognize Donna Micheletti from an episode of Dr. Phil or from season 14 of The Bachelor. Donna's daughter Gia Allemand, who was a popular cast member that season, took her life in 2013. Gia struggled with suicidal thoughts and attempts in her teen years and was eventually diagnosed with PMDD (Premenstrual \xa0Dysphoric Disorder), a disorder that affect roughly 4 million women in the United States. Many women with PMDD are wrongfully diagnosed with bipolar because few doctors know much about PMDD. Sufferers of PMDD are more than 3 times more likely to attempt suicide than the average woman. Donna is on a mission to educate the world about PMDD and to let those suffering to know that taking your life is not the answer.\xa0
