Use this article to learn what Red Tent PMDD is for and where cycle tracking, Reports, Resources, and logging live. The app helps you self-track patterns—it is not medical care or a clinical diagnosis.
What Red Tent PMDD is for
- Track your menstrual cycle and PMDD-related symptoms by calendar day—not as a clinical diagnosis.
- Review patterns in Reports after you log.
- Read Education and Research in Resources.
- Use Toolkit tools and App help articles in Resources.
- Join Community when enabled—participation is optional.
