Ten percent of women experienced suicidal thoughts or a death wish during the premenstrual period. These symptoms were more common in college and industrial workers, and linked to premenstrual mood changes.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Gynecology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Premenstrual symptoms (PMS) can significantly impact women's mental health.
  • Understanding the prevalence of suicidal ideation during the premenstrual period is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the frequency of suicidal ideas and death wishes among women during the premenstrual period.
  • To identify demographic groups with higher reported rates of these symptoms.
  • To explore the association between specific premenstrual symptoms and suicidal ideation.

Main Methods:

  • A study was conducted involving 296 women from diverse populations (urban, rural, industrial, college).
  • Participants reported on the presence of suicidal ideas and/or death wish during their premenstrual phase.

  • Statistical analysis was used to compare frequencies across groups and correlate symptoms with ideation.

    • Main Results:

    • Suicidal ideas or death wish were reported by 10% (30 out of 296) of the subjects.
    • Higher prevalence was observed among college students and industrial working women compared to housewives.
    • Women reporting suicidal ideas were significantly more likely to experience premenstrual symptoms like depression, irritability, mood swings, loss of control, and water retention.

    Conclusions:

    • A notable percentage of women experience suicidal ideation or a death wish premenstrually.
    • Certain demographics, such as college and industrial workers, may be at higher risk.
    • Premenstrual symptoms are strongly associated with the presence of suicidal ideation, highlighting the need for integrated mental health support.
