There is a need to better understand the relationship between premenstrual tension syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual depression. This research was designed to determine if severely depressed women experience a different kind of premenstrual dysfunction than nondepressed PMS patients. The nature and severity of premenstrual symptoms in both groups were evaluated and compared. The severely depressed women were found to have higher PMS scores, but did not differ from the nondepressed group in selection or ranking of symptoms. Depression appeared to influence the patient's perception and rating of symptoms, but the underlying premenstrual dysfunction was identical.
有必要更好地理解经前紧张综合征（PMS）与经前抑郁之间的关系。本研究旨在确定严重抑郁的女性是否经历了与非抑郁的经前综合征患者不同类型的经前功能障碍。对两组女性经前症状的性质和严重程度进行了评估和比较。结果发现，严重抑郁的女性经前综合征得分更高，但在症状的选择或排序上与非抑郁组没有差异。抑郁似乎影响了患者对症状的感知和评分，但潜在的经前功能障碍是相同的。
