Did you know PMDD is linked to suicide and suicidal ideation?   A global study published in 2022 found that an extremely alarming number of people - 34% - with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) have attempted suicide to escape the debilitating symptoms. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among Americans ages 10 to 34, with alarming recent increases in suicide rates among those assigned female at birth.  PMDD is a cyclical, hormone-based disorder that impacts approximately 1 in 20 females of reproductive age - a staggering 60 million worldwide.  A life-threatening condition that causes depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and physical symptoms in the two weeks before menses, PMDD is often underdiagnosed, misdiagnosed, or dismissed entirely by medical professionals. While there is no cure yet for PMDD or PME, many women and AFAB individuals have found relief from a combo of treatments, one of them being EXERCISE. Numerous studies have found that exercise CAN BE very effective in alleviating symptoms of anxiety and depression, symptoms people with PMDD and PME tend to struggle with monthly. There is no wrong way to exercise. Walk. Run. Bike. Hike. Kayak. Surf. Dance. Lift weights. Play pickleball. Whatever works - so long as you're moving! So fire up your playlist, grab an accountability buddy, or recruit your favorite furry friend, and get moving! If you or someone you know could use some EXTRA SUPPORT, IAPMD is here for you.
