Red Tent PMDD helps you track cycles and learn about PMDD—it does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Use this guide to see where disclaimers appear in the app and when to talk with a healthcare provider.
What the app is—and is not
The app organizes your logged cycles, symptoms, and journal entries so you can spot patterns and prepare for conversations with a clinician. Education and Research under Resources summarize published information—they do not tell you what to do about your health.
- Self-tracking — log daily symptoms, periods, and notes on your device and private iCloud.
- Reports — charts, phase labels, correlations, and optional PDF export reflect what you logged.
- Resources — Education articles and Research papers are for learning, not prescribing or diagnosing.
- Not medical care — the app does not examine you, order tests, or recommend treatment.
Legal documents in Settings
Terms of Service section 4 (Not Medical or Professional Advice) states the binding legal limits. For how to open each document row, see Privacy and legal—this article does not repeat that walkthrough.
Education articles
Every education article ends with the same Important Medical Disclaimer below the Was this article helpful? feedback prompt (and below any optional Sources, Citations, or Read Next sections). See Education content for browsing and the exact disclaimer text—not repeated here.
- Educational only — disclaimer copy states information is for learning, not a substitute for professional medical advice.
- Seek your clinician — always ask a physician or qualified health provider about medical conditions.
- Do not delay care — never disregard professional advice or delay seeking it because of something you read in the app.
Exported PDF reports
- Cover disclaimer — the first PDF page states the report is confidential health information for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment of any kind.
- Mapping appendix — DSM-5 mapping pages include an Important Disclaimer framing the export as a tracking summary for healthcare conversations, not a diagnosis.
- Your logs only — sparse or recent logging produces a thinner report; see Exporting a report (PDF) for the export flow and Understanding the report PDF for page-by-page detail.
Estimates, phases, and correlations
- Cycle phases — phase descriptions in Reports are fixed educational copy, not personalized medical advice (see Cycle phases).
- Predictions — next period and ovulation dates are on-device estimates, not medical forecasts (see Predictions and estimates).
- Correlations — Reports may note that correlation does not imply causation; patterns are for discussion with a clinician, not proof of cause.
- Research papers — OpenAlex metadata and outbound links are scholarly references, not treatment instructions (see Research papers).
Other help articles
Several help articles include warm callouts that frame on-device estimates, educational copy, or export PDFs as non-diagnostic. When you see See Medical disclaimer for health decisions, return here for the full picture of where those boundaries apply.
