Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Psychiatry
  • Women's Health
  • Clinical Epidemiology

Background:

  • Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) diagnosis has improved, allowing for more rigorous research.
  • Accurate diagnosis requires prospective symptom charting, scoring, and clinical evaluation to exclude other disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state of research on premenstrual symptoms (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
  • To highlight the need for further studies on treatment efficacy for various presentations of PMS.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on PMS and PMDD diagnosis and treatment.
  • Emphasis on the importance of prospective symptom charting and clinical evaluation.

Main Results:
