2023 PMDD Survey

In February 2023, Premenstrual Disorders Australia surveyed Australian PMDD patients across the country.

Many of our results mirrored the results found by @toryeisenlohrmoul and @iapmdglobal in March 2022 - the largest study of PMDD patients ever undertaken ¹.

Individuals were recruited via social media platforms that are concerned with PMDD and the Western Australian Mental Health Commission’s electronic newsletter, ‘Stakeholder connect: Lived Experience Scoop’. The link requested that people living with PMDD or those who love someone living with PMDD complete the survey via the link provided. Respondents were informed that they could withhold their name if they did not wish to share and were provided no compensation for completing the survey.

These findings will form a solid foundation for us to effectively begin advocating for women and individuals assigned female at birth living with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder in Australia, now and in the future.
