    While the majority of female/assigned female at birth individuals do not experience significant menstrual cycle effects on their mood, approximately 5% experience intense and debilitating changes (i.e., premenstrual dysphoric disorder, PMDD) and at least 50% of those with mood disorders and other forms of psychopathology experience cycle-based worsening of their symptoms (i.e., premenstrual exacerbation, PME). Clinicians need to understand how to assess and treat menstrual cycle-related effects on mood and psychopathology. Dr. Peters will provide an overview of how changes in ovarian hormones can affect mood and behavior, information on assessment including the rationale for prospective daily symptoms tracking, and pragmatic strategies to adapt CBT and DBT skills to reduce the impairment and distress from PMDD/PME.
