In view of the fact that in the early part of this century Emil Kraepelin clearly described the relationship between psychotic episodes and the menstrual cycle it is surprising that the scientific elucidation of the phenomenon as a primary endocrine disorder came only decades later. Furthermore, the German literature has paid little attention to the problem, which was given the name "periodic psychosis of puberty" in 1963. In this article an overview of the literature is given, the symptoms and course of the disorder are described and two cases are reported. The course appears to be variable. There can be spontaneous remission after a variable length of time but also a transition into other forms of psychosis. The treatment is pharmacological.
鉴于在本世纪初埃米尔·克雷佩林就清晰地描述了精神病发作与月经周期之间的关系,令人惊讶的是,将该现象科学地阐释为一种原发性内分泌紊乱却在几十年后才出现。此外,德国文献对这个问题关注甚少,该问题在1963年被命名为“青春期周期性精神病”。本文给出了文献综述,描述了该疾病的症状和病程,并报告了两例病例。病程似乎具有变异性。在一段可变的时间后可能会自发缓解,但也可能转变为其他形式的精神病。治疗采用药物治疗。
