IAPMD
The International Association for Premenstrual Disorders is a lifeline of support, information, and resources for women and AFAB individuals with Premenstrual Disorders.
The International Association For Premenstrual Disorders (IAPMD) was founded in 2013 as the National Association for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (NAPMDD). What began as a collective of fellow suffers has grown into a comprehensive lifeline of support, information, and resources for anyone impacted by the core premenstrual disorders: Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder and Premenstrual Exacerbation of underlying disorders. In 2018, we became the International Association for Premenstrual Disorders to broaden our focus to the global premenstrual disorder community. Since our founding, we’ve helped over half a million people from approximately 100 countries find answers, community, and hope. We are creating a world where people with PMDs can not only survive, but thrive.
Our Mission
To inspire hope and end suffering for those affected by premenstrual disorders through peer support, education, research, and advocacy.
Our Vision
The IAPMD aspires to create a world where people with PMDD and PME can survive and thrive.
