Have you ever wondered if there is more than one 'type' of PMDD? Us too!

There is more and more evidence highlighting the possibility of distinct subtypes of PMDD (and PME!) with unique pathophysiologies (biological causes/pathways) but until recently, there had been no studies using groups of patients to try to distinguish these subtypes.

In this fascinating webinar, Dr. Tory Eisenlohr-Moul and Hafsah Tauseef, BS, from the CLEAR lab at UIC (Chicago), as they explain their recent research: "Are there temporal subtypes of premenstrual dysphoric disorder?: using group-based trajectory modeling to identify individual differences in symptom change".

Learn more about:

- What is PMDD.

- What is PME.

- Why is it important to investigate if there are subtypes of a condition/disorder.

- A simple overview of methods and outcomes of the "Are there temporal subtypes of premenstrual dysphoric disorder?: using group-based trajectory modeling to identify individual differences in symptom change" paper.

- What needs to be done in the future to further understand potential PMDD and PME subtypes-- and what might this mean for patients.

This webinar will suit patients and anyone interested in PMDD/PMD/Cycle Science research.
