TLDR
The criteria for diagnosis of the condition, its categorisation as a mental disorder, and its differentiation from depression and premenstrual syndrome are all considered.Abstract:
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder was discussed by a panel of European researchers. The criteria for diagnosis of the condition, its categorisation as a mental disorder, and its differentiation from depression and premenstrual syndrome are all considered. Data on the treatment of premenstrual dysphoric disorder, using serotonin reuptake inhibitors and other therapies, are reviewed. An algorithm for the treatment of premenstrual dysphoric disorder is proposed.read more
