“…Dubol et al reviewed the neuroimaging evidence for PMDD (the most severe form of PMS) and found that the PreCG was concerned with the severity of PMDD, implying a reduced cognitive control over the negative stimulation in women with premenstrual disorders ( 44 ). Meng et al reported that the significant lower activation in the PreCG in PMS patients than HCs during stress condition, and indicated the insensitive response of the nervous system might be considered as one of the reasons for a decreased cognitive control of premenstrual disorders ( 28 ). Cognitive change is also integrated with negative emotion processing and psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety and depression ( 45 ).…”

“…Thirty-six PMS patients and 36 matched HCs were accepted by this study. According to the G*Power instructions and one previous research of PMS (1−β=0.80, α=0.05) ( 28 ), the sample size in this study has sufficient analytical power. The detailed inclusion criteria for PMS patients was: (I) the symptoms were concerned with abnormality in daily functioning, and contribute to the changes of affective (i.e., irritability, anxiety, depression and emotional instability), cognitive (i.e.…”

“…Menstruation becomes a chronic stressor for them (29), and according to the theory of allostatic load, when individuals are regularly exposed to chronic stress, their physiological responses may be dysregulated, resulting in insufficient resources to cope with other stressors (61). Previous empirical studies have also found abnormal stress responses in women with PMS in the premenstrual period (62,63), suggesting this may create a vicious cycle that makes women with PMS experience more emotional symptoms, and put them at a higher risk of developing depression. However, based on the results of this study, it is uncertain which pathway plays a more important role in the prediction of depression by PMS, or whether they are equal.…”

BackgroundPrevious studies have revealed a high comorbidity between premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and depression; however, whether PMS can longitudinally predict depression has not been examined in large sample studies.MethodsThis study surveyed 8,133 women from the 1973–78 cohort of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health. Participants completed seven repeated measurements at 3-year intervals starting in 2000 (aged 22–27 years). Binary logistic and multivariate ordered logistic regression models were used to examine the predictive role of self-reported frequency of PMS symptoms in 2000 on self-reported diagnosis of depression and frequency of depressive symptoms, respectively, for each follow-up survey.ResultsSelf-reported frequency of PMS symptoms in the year 2000 predicted self-reported diagnosis of depression in most follow-up surveys. Specifically, compared to women who reported “never” had PMS symptoms in 2000, those who reported “often” had them were more likely to report a diagnosis of depression in 2006 (OR = 1.72), 2012 (OR = 1.88), 2015 (OR = 1.49), and 2018 (OR = 1.90); and those who reported “sometimes” had PMS symptoms in 2000 were more likely to report a diagnosis of depression in 2012 (OR =1.37) and 2018 (OR = 1.59). Furthermore, self-reported frequency of PMS symptoms in 2000 predicted self-reported frequency of depressive symptoms in each follow-up survey. Compared to women who reported “never” had PMS symptoms in 2000, those who reported “sometimes”, or “often”, had PMS symptoms reported depressive symptoms more frequently.ConclusionSelf-reported frequency of PMS can predict the self-reported frequency of depressive symptoms and the subsequent diagnosis of depression.

“…With the development of psychosomatic medicine, the ANS and HPA axis involved in stress reaction began to attract attention. Studies have found that the ANS of women with PMS was lower activated, showing inertia in activation and recovery to pressure ( 21 , 22 ). Cortisol, the regulatory product of HPA axis, presented lower level under psychological stressors as well, suggesting that women with PMS endured HPA axis dysfunction ( 23 ), and the attenuation of cortisol arousal response might be a significant risk factor for PMS ( 24 ).…”

IntroductionWomen with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) suffer heavily from emotional problems, the pathogenesis of which is believed to be related to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, autonomic nervous system (ANS) and central nervous system (CNS). We took into account all 3 aspects to observed the psychological, physiological and biochemical correlations under anger and sadness in college students with and without PMS.Methods33 students with PMS and 24 healthy students participated in the emotion induction experiment, and were required to fill out self-report scales. Their salivary cortisol (SCort), skin conductivity level (SCL), heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure (BP) and electroencephalogram (EEG) data were collected at the resting stage and 10-15 minutes after each video.ResultsCompared to healthy controls, students with PMS showed lower SCort level and higher VLF at rest, and no statistic difference in activities of ANS and HPA axis after emotional videos, but different results in EEG in all conditions. The decreases in SBP during angry video, SCort after angry and neutral videos, and increases in θ band power during sad video were moderately correlated with increases in PMS score. No intergroup differences were found in self-report emotions.DiscussionStudents with PMS had lower activity of HPA axis and possibly higher activity of PNS at rest, and different response patterns in CNS in all conditions. Several EEG frequencies, especially θ band, in specific encephalic regions during emotional videos, as well as declined HPA activities in dealing with angry and neutral stressors, in which γ activity in frontal lobe may play a role, showed moderate correlations with more severe PMS.
