Take Aways
- Situational or selective mutism may happen to women with PMDD.
- "Normally, my PMDD causes me to be unable to be around people for one really bad day, and then I'm fine. But every now and then, there's almost a week where I am damn near mute." -SaavikofVulcan
- "...this time, the very thought of opening my mouth to say anything makes me want to throw up." -SaavikofVulcan
- "[My daughter] Christina would become mute and act ghostlike for about a week." -Dembohns
- "I emailed her inpatient psychiatrist and told him that she would become extremely quiet and ghostlike. I asked him what could be bringing this on. He really didn't have a reply." -Dembohns
- "When we figured out Christina had PMDD, I read a study out of India that included mutism as a symptom." -Dembohns
- If mutism in some way happens to you or your loved one... try a different type of communication. Instead of verbal communication, switch to text messaging, emailing, or handwritten notes.
- Physical touch from a loved one can also help. Think hugs or a loving embrace.
