PMDD Quiz | 2-Minute Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder Assessment

Below is a list of questions that relate to life experiences common among women diagnosed with PMDD— a cyclic, hormone-based mood disorder, commonly considered a severe and disabling form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Please read each question carefully and indicate whether you have experienced these thoughts or symptoms in the week leading up to your period for most of your menstrual cycles in the past year.

You should only answer yes to a question if the symptom is present in the week before your period, starts to improve within a few days after the onset, and becomes minimal or absent in the weeks following.
