The Underdiagnosed Disorder Hiding in Your Practice - A Psychiatrist's Guide
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe, yet frequently underrecognized, mood disorder that can significantly impair emotional well-being, interpersonal relationships, occupational functioning, and overall quality of life. Accurate diagnosis is essential to distinguishing PMDD from other mood and anxiety disorders and to implementing effective, evidence-based treatment.
This webinar will provide clinicians with a comprehensive review of PMDD, including its diagnostic criteria, underlying etiology, epidemiology, risk factors, and typical clinical course. By the end of the webinar, clinicians will be better prepared to recognize PMDD and offer evidence-based treatment strategies.
After completing this activity, learners will be able to:
- Apply DSM-5-TR criteria to accurately diagnose PMDD
- Describe the etiology of PMDD
- Review the epidemiology and typical clinical course of PMDD
- Identify key risk factors associated with PMDD
- Discuss evidence-based treatment strategies for PMDD
Participants will have the opportunity to submit questions using the questions pane for the Q&A session at the end of the webinar.
