MODERN MGMT OF PMS CL

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), always a confusing and controversial area of medicine, now receives its due with this comprehensive monograph. Its basic assumption is that occurrences in the female reproductive endocrine system may trigger pre-existing factors, leading to the constellation of symptoms known as PMS. Diagnosis, often difficult to come by with PMS, is laid out simply and clearly. There are chapters on the interrelationship of medical illnesses and the menstrual cycle, on the parallels between PMS and psychiatric illnesses and on the physiology of mood.
