The Big PMDD Conversation with The PMDD Project

Welcome to The Big PMDD Conversation with The PMDD Project, hosted by the National Centre for Mental Health! Join us online for an insightful and supportive discussion about Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) - a severe, often misunderstood condition that affects many individuals worldwide.

This event aims to:

• Raise awareness about PMDD and current research
• Share resources and lived experiences
• Answer your questions in a safe, inclusive space

Whether you're living with PMDD, supporting someone who is, or simply want to learn more, this is a valuable opportunity to connect, be heard, and be informed.

We’ll also be sharing information about the PreDDICT study, a major research project aiming to better understand PMDD and improve future diagnosis and treatment options. If you’re eligible, you can learn how to take part in the study and contribute to vital research that could help shape the future of PMDD care.

The National Centre for Mental Health is based at Cardiff University. 

About the speakers

Chloe Apsey is a PMDD researcher at NCMH:

"I am a Research Assistant and PhD student at Cardiff University working on the PreDDICT (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder – Indicators, Causes and Triggers) project. I have been working on the project for four and a half years trying to grow our cohort of people with lived experience of PMDD and severe PMS symptoms. We have now recruited over 1000 people and have 150 genetic sample, but we have goals to hit much higher numbers. Through the information we collect we aim to better understanding of the causes and symptoms of PMDD and improve diagnosis and treatment for those affected."

Phoebe Williams is the founder of The PMDD Project:

"I am the founder of The PMDD Project - the UK's first and only charity dedicated to supporting people impacted by Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). I’ve worked in the charity sector for around seven years, and throughout that time I‘ve seen the real, lasting impact that grassroots-led, community-driven change can create. I believe in the power of lived experience, practical resources, and honest conversations to transform how PMDD is seen, understood, and supported. Through The PMDD Project, I’m working to build a future where no one with PMDD feels alone - and where they don’t have to fight so hard just to be taken seriously."
