Our Aims

To raise awareness and educate GPs and health practitioners.
1 in 20 women suffer but it’s rare to meet a GP who has even heard of the condition. GPs are the gatekeepers to information for women, but many women are left to suffer alone for years being told they have mental health problems. 

To gain more referrals to specialist gynaecologists for sufferers.
With better knowledge by GPs about PMDD, more women can gain access to specialists (PMS Specialists/gynaecologists) and get the tailored help they need. 

To raise awareness within Mental Health Organisations and educate about the warning signs.
Treatment can (and should often) be very different to that often used for non-hormonal depression or psychosis.

 To raise awareness among the general public.
The more people that know about PMDD the better: The more people that talk about it, the more likely it is that women will hear about it and make that connection (often referred to as the ‘lightbulb’ moment!)

To raise much needed funds for NAPS (The UK Charity representing women with severe PMS/PMDD) 

To give a strong voice to women who are often shamed by the stigma and embarrassment caused by extreme PMS. 
Often brushed off (even by professionals) and trivialised as something that all women have to ‘deal with’ is just not good enough. Every month some women are losing 2 weeks (or more!) dealing with suicidal fixation, extreme anxiety, extreme fatigue and anger (to name just a few of the common symptoms). With symptoms often heightening after childbirth, it is not just the women that suffer, but partners, children and the wider family too.
