Not applicable. This is a review article.

## What they did

This is a review article analyzing research on treatments for premenstrual mood disturbances specifically.

## What they found

Studies have tested many approaches to treating premenstrual mood symptoms. These include conservative measures, supportive therapy, nutritional approaches, psychiatric medications, hormonal treatments, and drugs that stop ovulation. A rational approach to diagnosis can lead to a hierarchy of individualized treatments that use the least invasive intervention necessary.

## What it means for you

There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for PMS mood symptoms. The best approach is tailored treatment based on individual assessment and symptom severity. The main limit is that this is just a review of existing studies, not new research findings.
