Use this public screening tool to recognise whether your recurring late-luteal mood symptoms may deserve a clearer PMDD review.
A public tool on the InsideHer website
Designed to help people recognise patterns earlier and prepare for clearer care conversations.
PMDD is often missed when severe mood symptoms are treated as general stress instead of being viewed through a cycle-aware lens. This tool helps bring timing and daily-life impact into the same picture.
What to do first
Move through the steps in order, select only what is clearly true, and use the result as a care-prep summary rather than a final answer.
How it works
You move through symptom groups, timing clues, broader context, and urgency flags. InsideHer then gives you a clearer signal summary and next step.
What it helps with
Recognising whether monthly mood symptoms, anxiety, irritability, sleep disturbance, and functional strain are clustering in a PMDD-like pattern.
What this does not do
This tool does not diagnose PMDD and it does not replace urgent mental health care. If you feel unsafe, overwhelmed, or at risk, seek immediate support.
Your PMDD screen result
This is based on mood timing, how strongly symptoms rise, and how much they affect daily life.
This screen is not showing a strong PMDD pattern right now
Your answers do not show a strong classic PMDD pattern from this screen alone.

Recommended next step
If symptoms rise sharply before the period and ease after bleeding starts, keep tracking and bring that pattern into care.
This is a less clear classic pattern, not a dismissal.
A lower signal does not mean your symptoms are not real. It means the pattern is less clearly classic in this tool, and ongoing disruptive symptoms still deserve review.

What this result means in Global guidance
Screening timing, referral thresholds, and follow-up pathways vary by country. Use this result to prepare for care, not as a universal rule.
