Premenstrual syndrome : dissecting its psychological connections through five cases

Abstract EN

The premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphonic disorder, both cyc-lical disorders of reproductive women and interfacing between gynecology and psychiatry in multiple domains are specifically linked to the late luteal phase of menstrual cycle.

This paper analyses anamneses of five patients who manifested physical and psychological symptoms symbolic of a spec-trum of premenstrual disorders and also endorsed therapeutic value of sero-tonin re-uptake inhibitors.

In consideration of these cases, the relevant re-veiled findings are discussed in the light of international data.
