# What information about PMDD is shared on TikTok?

TikTok videos discuss PMDD symptoms, treatments, and the experience of having this condition. The researchers found that TikTok serves as a place where people talk about PMDD, which is often considered a taboo topic.

 Early or limited evidence

97 TikTok videos about PMDD

## What they did

Researchers analyzed 97 TikTok videos that discussed PMDD. They looked at what information was presented and how people were talking about PMDD, a normally hidden condition.

## What they found

The videos covered PMDD symptoms, treatment options, and personal experiences. The researchers found that TikTok is a meaningful space where people communicate about PMDD, a condition that is often not openly discussed.

## What it means for you

TikTok can be a useful source of information and community for people with PMDD. However, this study only looked at what was posted, not whether the information was accurate or medically sound. It also did not measure whether watching these videos actually helps people with PMDD.
