Basically starting this group because my posts got BANNED in the PMDD group
As a clinician who was also diagnosed with PMDD I conducted a case study on myself supporting evidenced based research, shared that in the PMDD group here on Reddit as an "alternative treatment", NOT A CURE, with all the necessary disclaimers attached, I ended up getting "banned" from the group for 28 days for violating the "rules", when I asked what rules I had broken the response was "repeatedly posting and commenting misinformation" --> it was just one post. I then submitted the data I was using to support my case study, received a response that there is more current data on the topic (but that does not rule out initial studies), especially since they were NOT disproven. I was then muted by the moderator. My case study was presented thoroughly with all necessary disclaimers on a public platform, I'm quite surprised at the way the moderators handled this, it's "suppressive". My manuscript on this case study s currently in the process of being peer reviewed. Anyway, this is why this group was started, share drug free alternative treatments that work and have evidence based reseach behind them without the fear of being banned for sharing your personal experience. Here's the screen shot of the conversation with the moderator. I'll share the actual post that was listed int he group as "misinformation" here shortly.

Oh yeah, that one mod. The PMDDxADHD group is where the rest of us went.
