Maren was created in response to the persistent gaps in how cycle-based mood disorders are recognized, tracked, and treated. Despite growing awareness of PMDD, many individuals still struggle to find tools that reflect the lived reality of cyclical mental health symptoms.

This project aims to enhance symptom tracking, improve clinical communication, and support future research in women’s mental health. Maren is preparing for its first IRB-validated study. Our mission involves understanding the totality of menstrual cycle-related mood disorders, particularly PMDD, at the phenotypic and eventually genotypic level.

Maren is a research and self-tracking tool and is not intended to replace professional medical care.
