title: Premenstrual mood disorder and psychiatric illness.
abstract: The results of several studies suggest that a special relationship exists between premenstrual syndromes and major psychiatric disorders, particularly affective illness. These studies in general have not employed prospective criteria to diagnose premenstrual syndrome. In this paper the authors report a significant difference in the lifetime history of psychiatric illness between women with prospectively confirmed menstrually related mood disorder and those without it.
