# Is premenstrual syndrome linked to mood changes?

No. Among 70 women psychology students, 55.7% had PMS symptoms and 70% had mood changes, but there was no clear link between the two.

 Early or limited evidence

70 women in a psychology program at a university in Indonesia.

## What they did

Cross-sectional study of 70 women in a psychology program. Used a questionnaire to measure premenstrual symptoms and assessed mood changes. Analyzed whether PMS and mood changes were related.

## What they found

55.7% of women had PMS and 70% had mood changes. However, no clear association was found between having PMS and having mood changes.

## What it means for you

In this group of students, PMS and mood changes did not appear to be linked, which is surprising since mood change is usually considered a PMS symptom. The main limitations are the small sample size and that this is only women in psychology at one university in Indonesia.
