    Journal of psychosocial nursing and mental health services·2017

    Area of Science:

    • Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services

    Background:

    • Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), and premenstrual exacerbation of psychiatric conditions can profoundly affect women's lives for up to a decade.
    • Nurses encounter women with these premenstrual symptom exacerbations across diverse healthcare settings.
    • Despite its prevalence, research on premenstrual exacerbation of psychiatric illness is limited, with sparse evidence-based treatment guidelines.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To offer insights and a treatment algorithm for managing premenstrual symptom exacerbations.
    • To highlight semi-intermittent dosing as a strategy for achieving consistent symptom stability.

    Main Methods:

    • Extrapolation of insights from existing literature.
    • Development of a treatment algorithm based on current research.

    Main Results:

    • Identification of semi-intermittent dosing as a viable treatment strategy.
    • Potential for achieving continuous symptom stability throughout the menstrual cycle.

    Conclusions:

    • Semi-intermittent dosing offers a promising approach for managing premenstrual symptom exacerbations.
    • Further research is needed to expand evidence-based guidelines for treating these conditions.
