    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Psychiatry
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • Premenstrual syndromes are characterized by mood, cognitive, and behavioral disturbances.
    • A potential relationship between psychiatric disorders and premenstrual syndromes has been suggested.
    • Understanding this connection is crucial for mood disorder research.
