Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is an illness associated with the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.
It is similar to premenstrual syndrome (PMS), but differs from it in severity and in that it requires treatment, because it interferes in a woman's ability to function in her environment.
It has been proposed as a disorder requiring further study by the American Psychiatric Association in the DSM-IV-TR.

Such syndromes have symptoms in common with PTSD, such as intrusive memories (which are triggered by a current event), but more likely include an increased and imminent sense of fear or danger.
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) often co-occurs with the impact of homicide trauma for the same reason that PTSD is often caused by a precipitating event that triggers an underlying emotional or psychological vulnerability.
However, research on who is most susceptible to PTSD is unclear, and a lot depends upon the situation, like whether the homicide occurred on "safe" ground, how intentional it was, the degree of social support that was taken advantage of, and how the death notification occurred (see MADD protocol on death notification).
