The PMDD Project Fundraiser
The PMDD Project is the UK’s first and only charity dedicated to supporting those affected by Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), a severe and often misunderstood hormone-based mood disorder that impacts around 1 in 20 people who menstruate. The charity was founded by individuals with lived experience of PMDD, aiming to address the urgent need for better awareness, support, and treatment options for this life-altering condition.
What The PMDD Project Does:
Raising Awareness: The charity works to make PMDD widely recognised and understood, targeting not just the public but also businesses, schools, and policymakers. They campaign for improved medical training and workplace accommodations, and strive to end the stigma and misdiagnosis that many face.
Providing Support: The PMDD Project builds a supportive community for individuals experiencing PMDD, offering resources, personal stories, and a safe space. Their online presence and outreach help connect those in need with information and peer support, so no one has to face PMDD alone.
Funding Research: The charity actively funds and promotes research to advance understanding and treatment of PMDD. By supporting scientific studies and collaborating with researchers, they aim to improve diagnosis, develop better therapies, and ultimately change lives.
Why Their Work Matters:
PMDD can have devastating consequences, including severe depression, suicidal thoughts, and significant impacts on relationships, careers, and daily life. Despite its severity, PMDD is often dismissed as “just bad PMS,” leaving many to suffer in silence and without effective care. The PMDD Project is committed to changing this reality by advocating for recognition ensuring everyone affected has access to help.
By supporting The PMDD Project, we are helping to break the barriers of PMDD, one cycle at a time. Donations fund awareness campaigns, community resources, and vital research, making a real difference for those living with this condition.
