The Christina Bohn Memorial 5K for PMDD Awareness marks the first anniversary of the signing of the bill recognizing October 2nd as Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) Awareness Day in the state of Missouri. On November 3, 2021, Christina Elizabeth Bohn died from suicide. At 33 years old, a thoracic ICU nurse, wife, and mother to two young children, Christina took her own life. For more than ten years, she had battled a relentless and debilitating cycle of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and hopelessness. At first, this cycle seemed random, but finally, she and her parents connected this cycle to her menstrual cycle. Just three months before her passing, Christina received a diagnosis of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). But after years of suffering without answers or the proper treatments, the pain was too great.
