this is an important issue and the suicide rate and risk is definitely increased for PMDD sufferers (for systematic review and meta-analysis see e.g.: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8721500/) but your absolute numbers are way of. Probably by a factor of 50-100x.
There are not ~700k American women dying of PMDD related suicide every year. That would imply that almost half of all women that die in the US each year die because of PMDD related suicide (see e.g.https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db492.htm). Still a very important issue!
