Overlapping symptoms between premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and postpartum depression (PPD) suggest that these disorders may share a common etiology and pathology. Moreover, PMS is a risk factor for the development of PPD. This review aims to synthesize the evidence regarding associations between PMS and PPD. Studies were systematically reviewed through identification in PubMed, ISI web of knowledge, PsycINFO and JSTOR databases. A total of 16 studies met inclusion criteria. Three studies revealed an initial significant association between both variables, but it did not remain significant after the inclusion of confounders (e.g. personality, socio-demographic factors) into the analyses. Eleven papers found a positive association between PMS and PPD beyond the effects of biopsychosocial confounders (p < .05). Finally, two studies did not find any significant association between both variables. This review demonstrated that there is a positive association - potentially a mechanism - between PMS and PPD, which may depend on specific confounders.
经前期综合征（PMS）和产后抑郁症（PPD）之间存在重叠症状，这表明这些疾病可能具有共同的病因和发病机制。此外，PMS 是 PPD 发展的一个风险因素。本综述旨在综合与 PMS 和 PPD 相关的证据。通过在 PubMed、ISI web of knowledge、PsycINFO 和 JSTOR 数据库中进行识别，系统地对研究进行了综述。共有 16 项研究符合纳入标准。三项研究显示两者之间存在初始显著关联，但在将人格、社会人口因素等混杂因素纳入分析后，这种关联不再显著。十一份文献发现 PMS 和 PPD 之间存在正相关，超出了生物心理社会混杂因素的影响（p<.05）。最后，两项研究未发现两者之间存在任何显著关联。本综述表明，PMS 和 PPD 之间存在正相关-可能是一种机制-，这种关联可能取决于特定的混杂因素。
