UNC PMDD Study

If you suffer during the week before menstruation from depression, anxiety, irritability or mood swings, and these symptoms are severe enough to interfere with normal functioning or interpersonal relationships - you are not alone! Up to 30% of reproductive age women suffer from clinically significant premenstrual symptoms (PMS).
This study offers free diagnostic evaluation for menstrually-related mood disorder (MRMD) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
Requirements
- Women between the ages of 18-52
- Have mood symptoms only pre-menstrually, and not after the end of menstruation
- Are medically healthy and not currently taking hormonal or psychiatric medications
