Our Story
The International Association For Premenstrual Disorders (IAPMD) was founded in 2013 as the National Association for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (NAPMDD) by Amanda LaFleur and Sandi MacDonald. What began as a collective of fellow sufferers has grown into a comprehensive lifeline of support, information, and resources for anyone impacted by the core premenstrual disorders: Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder and Premenstrual Exacerbation of underlying disorders. In 2018, we became the International Association for Premenstrual Disorders to broaden our focus to the global premenstrual disorder community. Since our founding, weβve helped over half a million people from approximately 100 countries find answers, community, and hope. We are creating a world where people with PMDs can not only survive, but thrive.
Our Mission

Our Vision
