“…Bailey and colleagues found that 40% of women diagnosed with PMS or PMDD also had comorbid affective or anxiety disorders. [29] Contrary to the study by Cohen and colleagues that found an association of PMDD and lower education, [30] other studies have found PMS/PMDD had higher prevalence rates among students, [15,29] which is also supported by the findings of Takeda and colleagues that showed that one half of female students experienced both irritability and depression. [31] Limited information about the cause and treatment of PMDD may also contribute to the high prevalence rate of PMDD in adolescent girls.…”

“…[12,13] Work pressure, low autonomy at work, and little variety in work conditions have been shown to be significantly higher among women with PMS when compared to those without the symptoms. [14,15] PMDD symptoms can also interfere with school and home life. Stress due to long hours of study and work-related pressure may affect the prevalence rate of PMDD as well as sleep disturbance in adolescent girls.…”

•Original research article• Background: Up to 8% of women in their reproductive years are affected by Premenstral Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). Sleep disturbances such as insomnia or hypersomnia are one of the DSM-IV-TR's defining criteria for the diagnosis of PMDD and are found in about 70% of women with the disorder. However, studies are lacking that specifically address the effects of PMDD on quality of sleep. Aim: This study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of Premenstrual DysphoricDisorder (PMDD) and its impact on sleep quality in female university students. Methods: We developed an 18-item PMDD scale based on The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) to diagnose PMDD in female university studentswho ranged in age from 18 to 30 years and had regular menstrual cycles.Participants were categorized into a PMDD group or a No/PMDD group and sleep quality was compared between the two groups. The evaluation tool used to measure sleep quality was the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: The prevalence of PMDD in female universitystudents was 25.5%. Analysis of the PSQI demonstrated that 80.5% of those in PMDD group had a PSQI that scored >5; however, only 56.4% in the No/ PMDD grouphad a PSQI that scored >5 (χ 2 =12.459, p<0.001). The mean PSQI score was 8.2(3.4) in the PMDD group and was 6.5(3.1) in the No/PMDD group (t=3.648, p<0.001). Conclusions: Female university students who experience PMDD are deeply affected by sleep problems. Lower sleep quality, daytime dysfunction, and sleep disturbance are common sleep problems among female university students with PMDD.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is one of the most vague and ill-defined phenomena in the field of woman health.Almost all its definitions concluded that it is a cyclic recurrence of distressing physical, psychological and behavioral symptoms, that occur during the luteal phase of menstrual cycle and evaporates within two days of the onset of menses. PMS may range in its severity from mild (90% of females) to moderate or severe (12.6-31% of females). The last type is called Clinically Significant Premenstrual Syndrome (CSPMS). The emergence of CSPMS during the teen years complicates the process of puberty and assumed to have negative impact on the girl's Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL). This study aimed to compare HRQOL in the girls with and without CSPMS. This was a comparative study which was carried out on 600 female students (300 free from CSPMS and 300 suffer from CSPMS) at Damanhur University, Elbehira governorate, Egypt. A modified version of Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool (PMSST) for clinicians was used to assess the severity of subject's PMS. Each subject was assigned to either CSPMS free group or CSPMS group based on the severity of their PMS symptoms. Then the HRQOL was assessed in the two groups, using a translated version of RAND36-item Health Survey Questionnaire. The study results indicated a statistically significant difference between the two groups in their total quality of life score. The quality of life among the free group was almost equally good or fair while poor quality of life was found among around one tenth (12%) of CSPMS group compared to none among the free group. The largest proportion (86%) among CSPMS group had fair quality of life. The most negatively affected domains were social functioning, role limitations due to physical health, role limitations due to emotional problems, energy/fatigue and emotional well-being respectively. The least affected domains were physical functioning and general health perception. On the other hand, bodily pain wasn't affected at all. The study findings revealed that girls with CSPMS suffer from poorer health-related quality of life than those without CSMPS. Appropriate PMS management strategies should be initiated in order to improve the health related quality of life among girls with CSPMS. The culture of silence surrounding PMS should be broken by focusing on researches that highlight its importance and negative impact on quality of life.

Предменструальные расстройства настроения (ПМРН) выявляются у 25% женщин репродуктивного возраста, ухудшают качество жизни пациенток, приводят к сниже-нию трудоспособности: общее бремя этой патологии сопо-ставимо по величине с бременем депрессивных рас-стройств [1]. При этом определения понятий предменстру-ального синдрома (ПМС) и предменструального дисфори-ческого расстройства (ПМДР) длительное время остава-лись фрагментарными; нахождение предмета на стыке ги-некологии и психиатрии приводило к тому, что специали-сты в обеих сферах имели недостаточную настроенность на выявление этих нарушений, и многие пациентки оста-вались без лечения.Первые упоминания о ПМРН можно встретить у Гале-на (II век н.э.), который сообщал о связи болезненного со-стояния женщин накануне циклических кровотечений с фазами Луны [2,3]. В 1931 г. R. Frank (США) [4] впервые описал «синдром предменструального напряжения». Не-смотря на это, в XX веке в большинстве руководств по пси-хиатрии ПМРН упоминались лишь вскользь, и эта тенден-ция сохраняется по сей день. В качестве диагностической единицы они впервые были включены в Диагностическое и статистическое руководство (DSM) версии III-R в 1980 г. как «дисфорическое расстройство поздней лютеиновой e-mail: bizet@inbox.ru Освещены современные представления о расстройствах настроения у женщин, ассоциированных с менструальным циклом: предменструальном синдроме и предменструальном дисфорическом расстройстве. Дано определение этих состояний и представлены критерии их диагностики. Проведен обзор данных, касающихся этиологии и патогенеза, факторов риска, распространенности этих состояний, а также методов их лечения с позиций доказательной медицины. The article provides the current view on mood disorders, associated with the menstrual cycle: premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). The definition and diagnostic criteria for these conditions are presented. The article includes also literature review concerning etiology, pathogenesis, risk factors, the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder, as well as methods of its treatment from the evidence-based medicine point of view.
