The only way to diagnose PMDD is by tracking symptoms for a minimum of two menstrual cycles. PMDD currently can't be diagnosed via blood, hormone, or saliva test. You are welcome to visit iapmd.org/toolkit to download & print our free symptom tracker.

Did you know that PMDD symptoms can be triggered at any time during the reproductive life cycle - from menarche to perimenopause? While some people find that PMDD starts from their first period, for others, it can & does begin at a different stage in their reproductive lifetime.

Rest is a necessity, a productive component of good health, & extra important for those suffering from PMDD & PME. Without proper rest, our premenstrual symptoms can worsen - symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, & suicidal ideation. iapmd.org/peer-support #suicideprevention

September marks s**cide prevention month. When we think of someone being s**cidal, the default is often someone being depressed, sad and withdrawn. In reality, a person can be outwardly happy, smiling and appear joyful, while inwardly being torn apart.

IAPMD Board Member Aaron Kinghorn has authored a guide for PMDD partners & caregivers. Initially a blog post during lockdown, Aaron has transformed his PMDD partner experience into a ray of hope to help partners understand how to best support PMDs. Available on Amazon.

If you suffer with a Premenstrual Disorder, you know how dark life can be. But you also understand the light that compliments the dark in ways others will never be able to. We're so glad you're here today. You made it. 💙 #feelgoodfriday #pmdd #pme iapmd.org/peer-support
