PMDD Log - Daily Record of Severity of Problems
Why the DRSP Matters for Clinical Practice
The Daily Record of Severity of Problems (DRSP) is a validated, prospective symptom-tracking tool that meets DSM-5 and ISPMD criteria for diagnosing PMDD and distinguishing it from premenstrual exacerbation (PME) of other conditions.
Clinical benefits:
- Diagnostic accuracy – Confirms luteal-phase onset and follicular-phase resolution, ruling out continuous mood disorders.
- Symptom quantification – Captures daily severity across emotional, physical, and functional domains.
- Treatment evaluation – Provides baseline data and objective follow-up for interventions (pharmacologic, hormonal, or lifestyle).
- Pattern recognition – Identifies cyclical triggers beyond PMDD, such as migraines or energy fluctuations.
- Patient empowerment – Visualising patterns enhances engagement and adherence.
Validated by Endicott et al. (2006, Arch Women’s Ment Health), the DRSP is considered the gold standard for prospective PMDD diagnosis and is recommended for at least two consecutive cycles of charting before confirming diagnosis or initiating targeted treatment.
