In the end it was moved out of the appendix and into the main text as a formal category. A review in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry published in 2014 examined the arguments against inclusion, which it summarized as:

the PMDD label will harm women economically, politically, legally, and domestically;
there is no equivalent hormone-based medical label for males;
the research on PMDD is faulty;
PMDD is a culture-bound condition;
PMDD is due to situational, rather than biological, factors; and
PMDD was fabricated by pharmaceutical companies for financial gain.Each argument was addressed and researchers found:

No evidence of harm;
no equivalent hormone-driven disorder has been discovered in men despite research seeking it;
the research base has matured and many more reputable studies have been performed;
several cases of PMDD have been reported or identified;
a small minority of women do have the condition; and
while there has been financial conflict of interest, it has not made the available research unusable.It concluded that women have historically been under-treated and told that they were making their symptoms up, and that the formal diagnostic criteria would spur more funding, research, diagnosis and treatment for women with PMDD.
