Pilot Study of the 'Thriving With PMDs' Program
Sponsor: University of Regina
Summary
This study is testing a self-help mental health program that was designed to help people cope with the challenges of living with a premenstrual disorder. Individuals with a premenstrual disorder - either premenstrual dysphoric disorder or premenstrual exacerbation of depression - will track their daily symptoms for two menstrual cycles before they complete the program, throughout the two-cycle program, and for an additional two cycles after accessing the program. This will allow the research team to compare their symptoms before and after accessing the program.

Interventions
Self-directed psychotherapy program for premenstrual disorders
The intervention consists of receiving 11 videos that are 10-15 minutes in length along with a workbook containing homework exercises. Participants are instructed to watch the videos over the course of two menstrual cycles: the first 6 during the first cycle and the last 5 during the second cycle. Each module focuses on a different skill inspired by cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
