Preparing for a GP appointment about PMDD

A clear summary of timing, impact, safety concerns and what you need from the appointment can make limited consultation time more useful.

Bring a short, specific summary

Describe when symptoms begin, when they improve, the areas of life affected and whether the pattern repeats. Bring daily records when available.

Mention medicines, contraception, other diagnoses and any safety concerns. Ask what alternatives need to be considered and what follow-up plan is appropriate.
