“…Retrospective reports of premenstrual changes are supported by daily ratings in some studies but not in others (26,27). In the experience of the authors, reports of severe changes are confirmed more frequently than are reports of mild changes.…”

The differential relationship between specific subtypes of premenstrual changes and specific subtypes of mental disorder was studied. Premenstrual changes were evaluated with the Premenstrual Assessment Form, which provides specific criteria for the classification of the various subtypes of premenstrual change. The Research Diagnostic Criteria were used to make lifetime diagnoses of mental disorder. Differential relationships were found between subtypes of premenstrual change and subtypes of mental disorder. The results suggest that premenstrual changes characterized by a depressive syndrome may represent a mild or subclinical manifestation of affective disorder.

“…The influence of the so-called extraneous variables-age, irregularity of periods, parity, pregnancy, marital status, oral contraceptives-have not been documented beyond controversy. To-date, we have many conflicting reports on the effects of using oral contraceptives (combination pills) alone on premenstrual tension (19,20,24). Our aim here is limited.…”

“…Coppen and Kessel (5) had found that the premenstrual symptoms of irritability, tension, swelling, and menstrual irregularity were positively correlated with the neuroticism scale. Sampson and Jenner (19) did not observe any such relationship. Rees (17) observed that premenstrual tension was more frequent in neurotic than in normal subjects, and that its intensity correlated with neurotic predisposition.…”

An attempt was made to relate personality to premenstrual tension (PMT), using two groups of 40 parous and 40 mulliparous women, respectively composed of 20 single and 20 married subjects with an age range of 21 to 30 years. The menstrual instruction group had identical age range and means with the nonmenstrual group. Control for pregnancy, use of contraceptives, and irregularity of periods was by exclusion. The influence of civil status and parity was also examined. Standard measures of personality and anxiety were utilized. It was found that: 1) The menstrual instruction group had higher scores in state anxiety than the nonmenstrual group. 2) State anxiety scores were positively and significantly correlated with trait anxiety scores. 3) The differences in state anxiety between the menstrual and nonmenstrual groups manifested in the form of exaggeration of symptomm reporting. 4) The Maudsley Personality Inventory did not discriminate between our menstrual and nonmenstrual groups. 5) The global scores of the premenstrual sympto checklist did not discriminate between our menstrual and nonmenstrual groups but the sections on breast, urinary, and pelvic symptoms did. 6) Neither marital status nor parity by itself had any significant effect on the performance of our menstrual and nonmenstrual groups.

“…The MDQ has been widely used in the United States and in Europe to document the prevalence and severity of PMS symptoms (4,(9)(10)(11)(12). Psychometric studies have documented the reliability and content validity of the MDQ, and indicate that it has a high level of consistency and test-retest reliability (8,13,14).…”

Cocaine abuse among women has become a major health problem in the United States, yet there is little information in the literature concerning the effects of this form of substance abuse on a woman's reproductive system. This study of 65 women in residential treatment for cocaine abuse and 65 non-cocaine-abusing women was undertaken to determine if there are differences in frequency or severity of perimenstrual symptoms between these two groups of women. Data were collected by questionnaire and included demographics, a substance use history, and the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire developed by Moos. Findings suggested that there are statistically significant differences in frequency and severity of perimenstrual symptoms between the two groups of women.
