Tory Eisenlohr-Moul is an associate professor of psychiatry and psychology and associate director of translational research in women’s mental health in the psychiatry department.

Eisenlohr-Moul’s research focuses on the emotional, cognitive and behavioral responses to changing hormones across the menstrual cycle in females with premenstrual dysphoric disorder and perimenstrual exacerbation of depression. She is particularly interested in how hormonal changes impact suicidality, substance abuse and interpersonal problems.

She developed and published the first standardized, computer-based assessment and scoring system to diagnose premenstrual dysphoric disorder using two months of patient-provided daily symptom data.
