And just talk us through your own story in terms of your life with PMDD, in terms of how you learned about it and and what you do to kind of manage living with PMDD.

So I am 28 now and I've had PMDD, I'm guessing, probably since I was 15.

It's hard to tell because I didn't know what PMDD was until 2021.

But I think I just look back and reflect on my behaviour and the way I used to feel.

and it makes sense that it was PMDD.

And so probably had it since I was 15, 14, 15 anyway.

And my symptoms have always been incredibly severe.

Is there a specific way that somebody would be diagnosed with PMDD? And then the kind of ways of managing symptoms in terms of those treatment options? Because I know someone said that they've been talked about being put on antidepressants but they know they're not depressed but we know that is one of the ways so just to talk through a little bit first of all how would the diagnosis process normally go um and then yeah what kind of treatment options are available
