Abstract
Premenstrual Syndrome and Late Luteal Phase Dysphoric Disorder are two commonly cited premenstrual syndromes. Some of the problems in research include prospective vs retrospective rating scales, lack of confirmation of treatment response by double-blind studies, and a large placebo response. Treatment is still largely empiric. Many patients who present with premenstrual complaints may benefit from psychiatric referral.
