This study is testing a self-help mental health program that was designed to help people cope with the challenges of living with a premenstrual disorder. Individuals with a premenstrual disorder - either premenstrual dysphoric disorder or premenstrual exacerbation of depression - will track their daily symptoms for two menstrual cycles before they complete the program, throughout the two-cycle program, and for an additional two cycles after accessing the program. This will allow the research team to compare their symptoms before and after accessing the program.

The intervention consists of receiving 11 videos that are 10-15 minutes in length along with a workbook containing homework exercises. Participants are instructed to watch the videos over the course of two menstrual cycles: the first 6 during the first cycle and the last 5 during the second cycle. Each module focuses on a different skill inspired by cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
