Jodhpur: Religious leader Asaram being taken to be produced in a Jodhpur court on February 13, 2015. | IANS

Publishing house HarperCollins on Wednesday said the Delhi High Courts decision to allow the publication of a book on religious leader Asarams conviction and arrest in a rape case was a victory for free speech. This book is an honest account of the evil that men do in the name of religion, said Diya Kar, a publisher at HarperCollins

The book, titled Gunning for the Godman: The True Story Behind Asaram Bapus Conviction, was scheduled to be published by HarperCollins on September 5. It is a first-hand account of the religious leaders arrest and conviction by police officer Ajay Lamba, along with writer Sanjeev Mathur. Asaram is currently serving a life term in Jodhpur in Rajasthan. An excerpt from the book was also published by Scroll.in.

A district court had blocked the books publication after a civil suit was filed by Sanchita Gupta, an associate of Asaram who was convicted under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences in 2018 in the case related to the rape of a 16-year-old girl.

On September 22, the Delhi High Court had set aside the district courts stay on the book. Justice Najmi Waziri noted that the book is based on facts available in the public domain. He added that discussions based on solid facts are protected under the freedom of speech and expression.

Divya Kar said the injunction was an attempt to suppress the truth. We fought for our right to publish, Kar added. In the end, truth prevails.

The publishing house added that the book will immediately be available for sale on all e-commerce platforms and in physical retail stores.

Sanchita Gupta had argued that the book was defamatory and would influence her appeal pending against the conviction in the Rajasthan High Court.

During the hearing on September 22, the Delhi High Court noted that Gupta had moved the district court against the book just a day before its scheduled publication. HarperCollins, meanwhile, said it had announced the books launch back in July.

The judge then directed the publisher to sell the book with a disclaimer that it is based on the judgment of a trial court, which is under appeal.

In 2013, two sisters from Surat had filed separate complaints against Asaram and his son Narayan Sai, accusing them of rape and illegal confinement. In April 2019, a local court in Surat sentenced Narayan Sai to life imprisonment after the younger sister accused him of repeatedly raping her between 2002 and 2005 when she was living at his ashram.

In April 2018, Asaram was convicted in a separate rape case in Jodhpur in Rajasthan, where he is currently serving a life term awarded by the court. The case against him in Rajasthan was filed after a 16-year-old accused him of raping her in 2013.

Coronavirus in Mumbai: Latest list of COVID-19 containment zones from Colaba in SoBo to Borivali in West and Mulund in East issued by BMC - Free Press...

There is a statue in this staggering show of the tantric god Bhairava, famous for his rages. Wild hair flows in rivulets from his carved granite face and his smile is alarmingly fanged. One of his four hands holds a noose, and another now missing used to brandish the skull of the creator god Brahma, which he had lopped off in a fury. Bhairava liked to use this skull as a begging bowl.

Now Bhairava is just as much a Hindu god as the divine Brahma. The difference is that hes a radical arriviste, a new god who may be summoned via devotion to the Tantras, those written instructions dating back to 500AD which explain how these new deities may be invoked through ritual yoga and visualisation. According to the ancient Tantras on display, inscribed with spectacular graphic force on palm leaves, if you follow the rituals diligently enough you will acquire all sorts of special powers, including the ability to fly.

One of Bhairavas earliest followers was a closet poet who gave up being a housewife to follow him. She wanted to be rid of conventional obedience and beauty and become equally anarchic. And so she appears in numerous bronze statues: naked, ascetic and vigorously intelligent; the first of the tantra saints.

Tantra, which is somewhere between philosophy and belief, argues that women can personify divinity, and that female sexuality holds sacred powers. Womens needs must therefore be honoured. There are many images at the British Museum in which women are receiving every kind of sexual satisfaction, including an exquisite painting of two apparently aristocratic lovers he wears earrings and four strings of pearls, she sits in his gilded lap, awaiting his sperm at some forthcoming hour. But Tantric deferral, as proselytised by Sting and Trudie Styler, is not supposed to lead to pleasure so much as enlightenment (what else?).

A text superbly written by the shows curator, Imma Ramos makes this strict point. But there is a lively cognitive dissonance here for the viewer; and so it continues. A hulking great statue of the Hindu maternal god Parvati shows her wearing human bones as jewellery; and her counterpart, Kali, can be a thundering grotesque with bulging eyes, garlanded with her enemies skulls and treading heavily on the naked body of her lover. Little red corpses are deftly threaded through her lobes for statement earrings.

This is the British Museums first new show since reopening, and it never ceases to startle. This is an art of shock and awe, of violence, bloodshed and ecstatic laughter.

A couple of hundred goddesses, wasp-waisted, bosomy and tremendously sinuous, strike the wildest of poses, often beaming with humorous glee. You think youre looking at some lissome yoga stance, light-footed, balletically reaching like Warrior 1 or 2, and it turns out to be another goddess stamping her enemy to death. This is body art like nothing in the west.

The shows subject is so nebulous (and so disputed) that any visitor might be forgiven for reading their way round the walls as much as looking, struggling to comprehend the shapeshifting gods and radical philosophy as it weaves (literally the meaning of the word tantra) between Buddhism and Hinduism, associating itself with Indian independence, feminism and 60s counterculture.

A one-minute film of chakras, holy men, veils and whirling statues, co-produced by Mick Jagger in 1968, mesmerises at the entrance, even without its soundtrack (which can be heard outside). Perhaps the Stones understood it all better than the Beatles in their ashram, for the inside sleeve of Sticky Fingers, which I always assumed to be Jaggers logo mouth, in fact shows Kalis lasciviously lolling tongue.

A glum-looking yogi sits cross-legged, trying to drum up tantric visions. He is painted top to toe with chakras, flowers, snakes heads and even a caricature turtle. But nothing indicates any kind of success. Whereas another watercolour, exquisite as an Elizabethan miniature and from exactly the same period, shows an aristocratic woman giving it all up to listen to a couple of female tantric divines in a garden, the blossoms glowing by twilight. And in another, a yogini carries a delicate peacock fan through a fading landscape with absolute serenity: a beautiful example for the Mughal court.

In tantra, wisdom and compassion are embodied as a god and goddess. You cannot have one without the other, so they must be united. Hence the many couplings described in this show, from sedate emblems to undulating, many-limbed statues. Tantra was an antidote to the religious orthodoxies of the past, in which womens bodies were an obstruction to enlightenment. Now they become temples to the spirituality that flows through the universe. Though it is no surprise to learn that tantra does not have much contemporary reach in Indian communities where girls are violently raped and murdered.

But this radicalism has its expression, too, in the colossal blades both real and depicted at the British Museum to be used by some powerful Kali. And even more devastating are the chilling aprons made from human bones; intricate chains of beads and chakras carved out of the bones found in charnel houses. Nothing, alas, in either the catalogue or the wall texts could quite explain for me the breaking of that mortal taboo.

But it certainly has something to do with fear, or the exorcising of fear; and that goes to the heart of tantra art. All the images you see here, from elaborate temple reliefs to scratched drawings, diaphanous watercolours to colossal stone figures, involve some kind of emotional encounter. And most unforgettable of all is a painting of a tantric cemetery.

Bhairavi (Bhairavas female counterpart) sits cross-legged on a corpse, its head violently torn off, skulls nestling in her lap. Shiva is her devotee, blue with ash and paying careful attention among the charred flesh, skeletal remains and burning pyres, their smoke spiralling skywards. The goddess, blood-red and horned, looks like some Bollywood version of Halloween. But even as we learn that images of compassion and wisdom in full coitus arent intended to arouse, so I believe the opposite is true in this case. The image is exemplary. You must enter that scene in your frightened mind, face the future and conquer your fear.

Tantra: From Enlightenment to Revolution review shock and awe - The Guardian

WHEN it comes to horoscopes, you either love them or hate them - but what happens when it comes to your Chinese zodiac sign?

Repeating every 12 years, the animal cycle includes the Rat, the Ox, the Tiger, the Rabbit, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Goat, the Monkey, the Rooster, the Dog and the Pig.

7

7

Each of those can then be split into five elements - Earth, Wood, Fire, Metal and Water.

So what exactly is the 'Metal Rat' zodiac sign and what does it represent?

The Rat is the first of the repeating 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac, constituting part of the Chinese calendar system.

The Rat more generally is associated with the midnight hours and therefore represents the beginning of a new day.

7

However, if you were born between January 28, 1960, and February 14, 1961, you are specifically a Metal Rat.

Similarly, you're a Metal Rat if born between January 25, 2020, and February 11, 2021.

People born within these date ranges can be said to have been born in the 'Year of the Rat' more generally however: 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, and 2020.

7

7

Celebrities that fall into the 'Rat' category more generally include Cameron Diaz, Eminem and Hugh Grant.

In Chinese culture, rats were seen as a sign of wealth and surplus, and, because of their reproduction rate, married couples also prayed to them for children.

Metal rats are absolute hard-nosed grafters, they just want to work and make money. Theyre also feisty, sensitive, very strong and equally single-minded.

They are extremely forthright and are imbued with a wondrous (albeit occasionally deluded) self-belief and possess a work ethic that would put any number of "alleged" workaholics to shame.

7

The Metal Rat is so convinced of his convictions it takes a shift in the earth's atmosphere to convince him otherwise.

But all these traits pale when compared to one other - their blind single-mindedness.

When that single-mindedness goes awry however, disaster strikes - so there'll be an equal number of paupers among the millionaires.

Each zodiac sign is associated with one of the five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.

Metal Rat: Smart, talented, hot-tempered, jealous, with a strong sense of self-awareness.

Water Rat: Talkative, shrewd, conservative, and wise.

Wood Rat: Independent, self-confident, virtuous and talented, with a strong sense of teamwork.

7

Fire Rat: Energetic, brave, quiet, cordial and friendly to their friends, but very strict with themselves.

Earth Rat: Amiable, honest, flexible, modest, serious, with a strong sense of self-esteem.

The Rat is said to be most compatible with the Ox, the Dragon and the Monkey.

Exclusive

According to the Chinese New Year site, the Rat and the Ox "complement and help one another in both work and life".

Meanwhile, couples that include a Rat and a Dragon are thought to enjoy success together, largely due to them understanding each other well.

Rats are said to be least compatible with the horse, the Goat and the Rabbit.

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) may be asymptomatic in both mild and advanced stages. A patients accurate perception of their DR severity may therefore be critical for effective self-management behaviors and understanding the need for timely intervention and follow-up. Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between self-reported and actual retinopathy severity in diabetic patients. Methods: This study was a single-center cross-sectional survey. Diabetic patients identified by enterprise data warehouse were sent an online questionnaire where they were asked to self-assess for presence of DR and grade their severity. Actual DR grading was determined via chart review. The primary outcome measures were patient-assessed DR severity and agreement with actual DR severity. Results: Of 3208 invitations sent, 324 (10%) patients responded and 319 responses were analyzed. The data showed that 39 of 253 (15%) with no DR, 26 of 40 (65%) with mild/moderate DR, and 24 of 26 (92%) with severe DR believed they had DR (p< 0.001). Of those with no DR, 214 of 253 (85%) accurately assessed absence of DR. Of those with mild/moderate DR, 25 of 40 (63%) accurately assessed their severity, 14 of 40 (35%) believed they had no DR, and 1 of 40 (3%) believed they had severe DR. In patients with severe DR, 9 of 26 (35%) correctly assessed their severity, 15 of 26 (58%) believed they had mild/moderate DR, and 2 of 26 (8%) believed they had no DR. Conclusion: Patients with severe DR were the most likely to report presence of DR, but often underestimated their disease severity. Many with mild/moderate DR did not realize they had DR. This consistent underestimation of severity across all a significant barrier to timely follow-up and treatment necessary to prevent future visual impairment.

Self-Reported Awareness of Retinopathy Severity in Diabetic Patients | OPTH - Dove Medical Press

In a Saturday interview with MSNBCs Stephanie Ruhle, Joe Bidens remarks were short on self-awareness and long on hypocrisy. But nothing drew more hyperpartisan discussion than when Biden likened President Trump to virulently anti-Semitic Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

After decrying the presidents propensity for using personal attacks and lies against his opponents, Biden engaged in the basest form of personal attack, saying Trump is sort of like Goebbels. You say the lie long enough, keep repeating, repeating, repeating it it becomes common knowledge.

Responses to Bidens clumsy and inaccurate allusion were split, mostly along party lines. Many displayed appropriate disgust with the insinuation that the president has anything in common with a man who, as the Daily Callers David Hookstead tweeted, helped carry out the systematic murder of more than six million Jewish people. The Republican Jewish Coalition issued a call for Biden to apologize for his egregious comment. Even former Democratic New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind expressed outrage, saying Biden desecrated the memory of six million Jews who were murdered.

Many Democrats, on the other hand, applauded Bidens jab for its alleged accuracy. Twitter account BetoMedia agreed with the characterization but lamented how former Democratic presidential candidate Beto ORourke had been denounced for using similar terminology earlier in the election cycle. In a factually incorrect and particularly despicable tweet from notorious Trump-hater Judd Apatow, the filmmaker took Bidens remarks further, stating Trump is murdering his countrymen and letting everyone die for personal gain.

The Democratic Party playbook of comparing Trump to various Nazi figureheads continues to be employed because it works thanks to ignorance of Nazi atrocities. On September 16, a study by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany showed that most millennials and members of Generation Z are unaware of the extent of the Nazis genocide. Couple this with our entrenchment in our respective political camps, and it is no surprise that people are willing to believe that members of opposition political parties are like, literally Nazis. And so, fueled by the same kind of hate that motivated the Third Reich, Nazi analogies thrive.

Whether you like him or not, Trump is no Goebbels. Charged with control over film, radio, theater, and the press, the propaganda minister shaped the social environment in which all threatening ideas were purged from German society as Hitler consolidated power and prepared for war. Subjected to a constant diet of Goebbels propaganda, the vast majority of Germans would stand idly by as their Jewish and other undesirable neighbors were rounded up and shipped to ghettos or forced labor and extermination camps. Under Goebbels propaganda apparatus, 6 million Jews and multiple millions of non-Jews died by the time World War II ended.

Likening Trump to Goebbels trivializes a history of horrific, calculated genocide. It supports the environment we find ourselves in today, where the Holocaust is the butt of horrible anti-Semitic jokes, like the discovery by Stop Antisemitism that a Google search for Jewish baby stroller turns up images of grills.

Especially in the midst of this contentious election cycle, as hatred and anti-Semitism rage around us, the country needs a strong, nonpartisan voice to condemn Bidens harmful rhetoric. As a respected organization fighting anti-Semitism and hatred around the country, this task absolutely falls to the Anti-Defamation League. Unfortunately, the ADL, which issues frequent condemnations of Trump, has made no comment about Bidens remarks. Its lack of denunciation is tacit approval of Bidens words.

Condemning the misuse of Holocaust terminology and history is an issue that transcends political allegiance. Anyone utilizing the Holocaust to make irrelevant political points has both minimized a terrible atrocity and failed to truly understand how and why hatred was weaponized by the Nazis. Regardless of our politics, we should demand more of our leaders, particularly at this time of incredible tension. Most importantly, we should all recall one of the most important lessons of the Holocaust, that it is vital for us to remember the humanity in our opponents and allies alike, no matter the circumstances.

With her platform, Damon stands against the homophobia, racism, and misogyny that she sees in work and life. A just world, to me, looks like people with power, money, and access taking actual risks--not black squares, not lazy hiring just for diversity with no action plan of how to really change culture. Hard life lessons have taught her how we can be better to each other and given her purpose, and motivated her to share her success with others by acting as a driver for change in the industry. Thats what Courvoisier means by honoring your code, its all about taking the life lessons that ones learned through their own experiences and sharing that success with others. Damon knows she cant single handedly overhaul the culinary worlds moral failings or feed everyone whos hungry, but she can press forward on that path.

What else does a more just world look like to you?

My motto right now has been "Listen, if we can't do it right, don't do it." A just world is asking that question all the time. Can we do this without hurting people? Without people being without the funds to live? Can we do this without demeaning people? Without compromising our integrity? We can't keep operating out of this place where we see people as numbers, property, or liability. Damn near everything that was unchangeable has been changed. I would be enslaved, we wouldn't know how to read, and ain't nobody voting if things just had to be the way they were.

What advice would you give someone looking to break into your industry?

I've been very naive at times about who is and is not for me. I would say to find people that inspire you. You don't necessarily have to reach out to them, but find genuine people who inspire you, so that when you falter, you can look to them to get on the right track again, almost like a guiding light.

Food is a part of all of our lives and for many people, its easy to take for granted. What are some things we can do or ways we can think to value what we eat?

Right now, either [food] places are shut down, or people are putting their lives at risk because you want to get your favorite foods. It's a difficult time because you want to patronize and support people because you don't want their businesses to be gone. Then, also, you want to care about people's well being. In between that uncomfortable place, that rock and hard place, is thoughtfulness. We just have to practice a whole lot more thoughtfulness.

How do you honor your code?

I cultivate self-awareness. You can't honor your code if you don't know who you are. I remain true to myself.

Baker Mayfield played well enough to lead the Cleveland Browns to a 34-20 victory over the visiting Washington Football Team. But Mayfield knows he should have done a lot more to help his team, which needed five takeaways from the defense to prevail on a picture-perfect Sunday afternoon in FirstEnergy Stadium.

Mayfields stat line 16-for-23, 156 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs looks a lot better on paper than it did in real-time. In his postgame Zoom with reporters, Mayfield admitted as much.

I could have played way better, he said. I couldve gotten the ball out and saved a couple of those sacks. The protection was great. I couldve re-IDd the play where the intentional grounding happened and the first play coming out where I got sacked. Some things that I can be a lot better on.

Its a good sense of self-awareness from Mayfield. Odell Beckham Jr. bailed him out with a fantastic defensive play to break up a would-be interception by safety Troy Apke. The intentional grounding penalty was an embarrassing decision, but also the second week in a row hes made it.

He also missed a wide-open Kareem Hunt on a play that should have been an easy touchdown. Instead, it required a truly spectacular one-handed grab by Hunt.

Mayfields recognition that he needs to play better if the Browns are to keep winning is a good sign. Yet its also a sign of how good the team around him can be that it doesnt need Mayfield to be perfect to claim a win.

One football game in September should not a referendum on the season, but it can be a point on a graph that indicateswhere a team is in its development and how far it has to go to be considered good.

The answers for the Cardinals after Sunday are a.) still in the learning stages and b.) so far that they should pack a lunch, maybe some snacks and plenty of water for the trip.

Good teams dont lose at home, 26-23, to the Lions, who snapped an 11-game losing streak.

Good offenses dont commit three turnovers, run eight plays in the fourth quarter, or throw seven passes in the direction of a second-year receiver, KeeSean Johnson, and only two in the direction of a future hall of famer, Larry Fitzgerald.

Good defenses dont let opponents drive 75 yards for a touchdown near the end of the first half or 70 yards for the game-winning field goal with no time left.

As coach Kliff Kingsbury accurately pointed out afterward, the Cardinals deserved to lose Sunday. Even in these divisive times, no one could argue.

We lost a game, so obviously none of us did enough, Kingsbury said.

Kingsbury blamed himself for the Cardinals' first loss of the season. Didnt have the team ready, he said. Called a bad game. Has to get the ball to Fitzgerald more often. Needs to communicate better with quarterback Kyler Murray.

Kingsbury is correct on all counts.

Including Kingsbury, the Cardinals were all over the map on Sunday.

Kingsburys a gifted play caller, but he outsmarted himself too often on Sunday. Like when he took Murray out and put backup Chris Streveler in on fourth and one in the third quarter. The Cardinals were late lining up, called a timeout, and then tight end Dan Arnold was called for a false start.

Why take Murray out on fourth down? Especially after the brilliant touchdown 1-yard touchdown run he made in the second quarter?

And why later in the quarter did Kingsbury call three consecutive pass plays after Kenyan Drake had rushed for 15 yards and a first down?

Murray threw two touchdown passes to Andy Isabella, including one that dropped into Isabellas hands just before the receiver ran out of end zone. But Murray had three passes intercepted. Causes:a deflection, a bad decision and a poor throw.

The defense twice held the Lions to field goals after Murray had passes intercepted in Cardinals territory. Yet, quarterback Matthew Stafford shredded it for 75 yards at the end of the first half, and for 61 yards on the final possession.

Im pissed, defensive tackle Corey Peterson said. Obviously, we had opportunities to win the game, even as poorly as we played.

But the Cardinals apparently arent far enough along in their development to do that.

Mandatory Credit: Rob Schumacher/The Arizona Republic via USA TODAY NETWORK(Photo: Rob Schumacher/The Republic)

The good news is there is not only room for improvement, but the capability of it.

Murray is a more consistent passer than hes shown. He hasfeathered a pass in to Isabella in the back of the end zone, andzipped an 18-yard out to DeAndre Hopkins.

But hes also missed on a couple of deep balls this season, and his ability to throw while on the run needs work.

Kingsbury is a creative play caller, but sometimes need the self-awareness that often the best designs are simple.

Against the worst rush defense in the first two weeks of the season, why run a reverse to Isabella? And why did Fitzgerald, who entered the game with 645 receptions at State Farm Stadium, finish with 646?

Over the next two weeks, there is an opportunity for the Cardinals to reset and address the shortcomings that were apparent on Sunday.

Carolina, next weeks opponent, is 1-2 and missing running back Christian McCaffrey. The Jets, the opponent the following week, are 0-3 and missing, well, pretty much everything.

Three weeks in, its impossible to tell for sure what kind of team that Cardinals are going to be this season. Lets hope it's not the one that played the Lions Sunday.

Are Cardinals better than they showed against the Lions? They better hope so - The Arizona Republic

From bloating to cramps to breakouts, most of us are more than familiar with the telltale signs of an upcoming period. In fact, many women experience some level of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) at some point in our life and while the symptoms are unpleasant, they're usually quite manageable with a couple of paracetamol and a hot water bottle.

But for some women, the lead up to their monthly period is somewhat more of an ordeal. They might experience severe mood swings, sleeping problems, extreme anxiety and physical distress. These women are experiencing premenstrual dysphoric disorder, or PMDD - a relatively common but poorly understood condition that's not often spoken about.

Here, we ask Dr Houda Ounnas of 25 Harley Street, to tell us everything we need to know about PMDD, from what it actually is, to the symptoms to look out for, to what you can do to help.

WHAT IS PREMENSTRUAL DYSPHORIC DISORDER (PMDD)? "Almost all women have some mild premenstrual symptoms that signal the imminent arrival of their period every month," says Dr Ounnas. "For some its merely an annoyance, some bloating and mild mood changes."

However, for others, the symptoms are more significant and fall under the diagnosis of premenstrual syndrome. "About 20% of menstruating women suffer from PMS. Women with PMS have mostly physical symptoms and some minor mood disturbances caused by the changing hormone levels just before the period arrives."

Sometimes, in about 5% to 8% of menstruating women, there are also debilitating mood changes which come together with the premenstrual physical symptoms. "This is another level up from PMS, and is called premenstrual dysphoric disorder, or PMDD," explains Dr Ounnas.

According to Dr Ounnas, PMDD is a severe, sometimes disabling extension of PMS. "Although regular PMS and PMDD both have physical and emotional symptoms, PMDD causes extreme mood shifts that can disrupt your work and damage your relationships," she says.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF PMDD? In both PMDD and PMS, symptoms usually begin seven to 10 days before your period starts and continue for the first few days that you have your period. The two conditions share some symptoms - bloating, breast tenderness, fatigue, and changes in sleep and eating habits.

However, in PMDD, at least one of these emotional and behavioural symptoms will be present - sadness or hopelessness, anxiety or tension, extreme moodiness or marked irritability or anger.

WHAT CAUSES PMDD? "The cause of PMDD isn't clear," says Dr Ounnas. "Underlying depression and anxiety are common in both PMS and PMDD, so it's possible that the hormonal changes that trigger a menstrual period worsen the symptoms of mood disorders. What is worth noting, is that PMDD is biological and not merely behavioural."

HOW IS IT TREATED? Unfortunately, there isn't a miracle cure for PMDD, and a lot of the treatment is about better understanding your symptoms. "Self-awareness and recognising the disorder and empathising with the self without judgment, is the first step in healing this disorder. Accepting that it is biology and not beating yourself over it as badly behaved, is key," advises Dr Ounnas. However, Dr Ounnas also recommends a well-balanced diet, regular exercise and cutting back on caffeine and alcohol can all help alleviate symptoms. "It's also a good idea to try relaxation techniques like meditation and mindfulness, as well as consider counselling."

Plus, there are certain medicines that can help; "There are two options the antidepressant class of drugs that can help. SSRIs (Selective Seretonin Reuptake Inhibitors) may reduce emotional and sleep symptoms," she says. The other option is the combined oral contraceptive pill; "it shuts down your fluctuating natural hormones, and replaces them with regular influx of artificial hormones."

FINAL WORDS OF ADVICE? "Whilst not dangerous to your health, PMDD can affect your relationships, both personal and at work and is definitely worth being aware of and controlling the symptoms," advises Dr Ounnas. "If you have a partner, it might be with telling them that you suffer with this condition, just so they are aware in terms of increasing their window of tolerance and patience around you that time of month, when the symptoms are likely to be active."
