Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder Awareness and Research Act of 2026

Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

2026-03-30

This bill would increase funding and support for research into premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a severe form of PMS that causes significant mood and physical symptoms in some people, and would require better public education about the condition so more people understand and can get treatment. The legislation would affect healthcare providers, researchers studying the disorder, and the millions of people—mostly women and people assigned female at birth—who experience PMDD symptoms. By boosting awareness and research, the bill aims to improve diagnosis rates and treatment options for a condition that currently goes unrecognized or untreated in many cases.
