Bipolar mood disorder and endometriosis: preliminary findings.
A consecutive sample of 16 women with laparoscopy-diagnosed endometriosis were evaluated for mood disorders. Twelve women met DSM-III criteria for a mood disorder: seven for bipolar disorder, mixed, three for bipolar disorder, manic, and two for major depression. Two women had equivocal diagnoses and two showed no evidence of mood disorder. Nine subjects had first-degree relatives with histories of severe mood disorders.
