PM - Lynsay is a Lecturer in Public Health at the University of the West of Scotland. Her research interests focus on Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), a hormone-based mood disorder leading 1 in 3 women (and AFAB) to attempt suicide. Although PMDD has been a diagnosable medical condition for almost a decade, awareness is still low among health professionals and the general public.
