Marybeth Bohn

Marybeth Bohn has been advocating for PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) since she lost her daughter, Christina Elizabeth Bohn, to suicide in 2021 due to the disorder. The thought of others suffering as her daughter did for 11 to 15 years before receiving a correct diagnosis motivates Marybeth to keep speaking out with the hope others will be diagnosed sooner than the average of 12 years. Marybeth serves as interim president of the board of directors for the International Association for Premenstrual Disorders (IAPMD). After Christina’s death, Marybeth retired from the University of Missouri to focus on increasing awareness of PMDD. Founded in 2013, IAPMD has become a global community and has helped over 1 million people from approximately 100 countries find answers, community, and hope. We are creating a world where people with PMDs can not only survive, but thrive.
