Abstract:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex hormone issue that is faced by many women. It usually shows up as high levels of male hormones, problems with ovulation and small cysts on the ovaries. Studies point out that women with PCOS might deal with more mental health problems, although the proof is not rock solid. This summary looks at the ties between PCOS and things like eating disorders, signs of bipolar disorder, autism, schizophrenia and issues with sex. Results suggest that things like insulin resistance and being overweight might add to feeling mentally upset. Also, a diet causing long-term inflammation may make anxiety and stress worse.
