# Can PMS be linked to mental health problems?

PMS may be connected to psychiatric disorders. Better understanding of how they are linked could help with treating both conditions.

 Early or limited evidence

Literature review, not a study of specific people.

## What they did

Reviewed what is known about PMS and psychiatric disorders, including possible links between them and approaches to evaluation and treatment.

## What they found

Many women experience some premenstrual symptoms, but only some have severe symptoms. The paper discusses possible connections between PMS and psychiatric disorders and how to evaluate and manage them in psychiatric patients.

## What it means for you

Recognizing connections between PMS and psychiatric symptoms is important for mental health treatment. The main limit is this is a discussion and review, not data from actual patients.
