Premenstrual symptoms: evaluation and treatment

Abstract

Critics who claim there is no therapy for PMS should now recognize that there are many ways to treat this condition. Appropriate therapy for PMS is more than a pill, more than changing attitudes, more than removing stress from one's life. Indeed, therapy for PMS is not always easy, for the problems that preceded the PMS may persist and the problems created by the PMS may be slow to heal. However, the good news is that most women with PMS will experience significant improvement in their sense of well-being and their quality of life with appropriate and multidisciplinary therapy.
