Abstract
Premenstrual mood changes have been described since the time of Hippocrates. RT Frank specifically identified physical, psychological, and behavioral changes corresponding to monthly changes in reproductive hormones in 1931 (Frank, 1931). Public awareness of changes in mood with phases of the menstrual cycle has increased markedly in recent years. Typically, premenstrual syndrome has been defined by symptoms, including irritability, tension, fatigue, dysphoria, distractibility, impaired motor coordination, changes in eating and sleeping, and libido, which occur in the late luteal phase and remit after the beginning of menstruation. Current nosology categorizes these symptoms under the diagnosis of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
