Read what people are saying about the Christina Bohn Foundation.
The foundation has done exceptional work through increasing awareness of and the resources available for PMDD. As a psychiatrist, it helps a lot to have an organization that has compiled information and resources for my patients in an easy to access manner. I have seen an increase in patients asking about symptoms/treatment of PMDD due to the foundation's outreach and education efforts. JF
"I recently read about Christina on IAPMD. Her story truly breaks my heart. I have also been suffering with this cruel disorder for nearly a decade. ... Thankfully, Christina’s lovely parents are working tirelessly to bring awareness to PMDD. Grateful and hopeful today. Thank you!" KH
Steve and Marybeth Bohn are bringing awareness about a condition that is often misdiagnosed, misunderstood or dismissed altogether. They are giving hope to so many women who suffer from this disorder. And maybe even more importantly, they are bringing educational awareness to the healthcare community. My husband and one of my sons are both physicians and neither one of them ever heard of PMDD during their training or anytime after. That has to change. Doctors can only give a proper diagnosis when they know and understand the disorder. The work that Steve and Marybeth are doing will save lives. LH

It is critical that those afflicted with the disorder be diagnosed quickly and correctly. The Bohn's efforts have already made a difference in so many lives and they have only just begun. SB
How We Measure Success/Impact
The success of an organization or the impact it has on the community is measured in different ways. For the Christina Bohn Foundation, we are successful when we have opportunities to raise awareness and educate the public about Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) and Premenstrual Exacerbation (PME). We see the impact when we are thanked after almost every PMDD sharing opportunity for helping someone recognize PMDD in themselves or a loved one.

Our Journey highlights our efforts to raise awareness and educate the public about PMDD and PME.
