A biopsychosocial model of premenstrual syndrome.
The authors describe the application of a biopsychosocial model to premenstrual syndrome. In this model one assumes that premenstrual syndrome is the result of an interaction between biologic, psychologic, and social factors. A six-point approach to the evaluation of women with multiple premenstrual symptoms is also presented. Finally, the benefits of this model for the clinician and investigator are reviewed.
