PMDD Partner Support
Whilst there isn't much support available for partners and family members, there are a few places that can be accessed for support or advice. This page is intended as a start, a place where more resources can be added with time.
Zoom/Video Support Groups for PMDD Partners
IAPMD as part of its video support groups has a Peer Partner Support Group. The group meets once per month and gives the opportunity for partners to share common experiences.
