Article Abstract
Premenstrual exacerbation of an existing psychiatric disorder refers to the worsening of symptoms inherent to the condition during the premenstrual phase. Research consistently indicates that hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle present a unique period of vulnerability for the onset or exacerbation of psychiatric symptoms, impacting diagnosis, risk assessment, and treatment. This review sought to elucidate the phenomenon of premenstrual exacerbation and its impact across a spectrum of psychiatric illnesses, including mood, anxiety, psychotic, obsessive-compulsive, personality, and trauma-related disorders. Despite the expanded research in recent years on premenstrual dysphoric disorder and premenstrual syndrome, premenstrual exacerbation remains underexplored and poorly defined. This review offers significant contributions to the diagnosis and management of psychiatric conditions, advocating for heightened awareness and novel treatment approaches in the context of premenstrual exacerbation.

Article Synopsis
- Premenstrual Disorders (PMDs), including PMS and PMDD, significantly affect women, and childhood trauma may increase the risk of experiencing these disorders and premenstrual exacerbation (PME).
- * This study analyzed data from 391 participants to explore the relationship between childhood trauma and various levels of premenstrual symptoms, comparing those with PMDs, PME, psychiatric controls, and healthy controls.
- * Results indicated that individuals with PME and psychiatric conditions reported more severe childhood trauma, with a correlation between trauma and premenstrual symptoms especially strong in the PMD group, highlighting the lasting impact of early trauma on mental health.

Department of Psychiatry, University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, CO, USA.
Purpose Of Review: We reviewed a wide body of emerging research highlighting the possibility for premenstrual exacerbations of mood symptoms in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Recent Findings: Neuroendocrine dysregulation, sensitivity to ovarian hormone fluctuations as well as higher levels and types of adverse childhood experiences and demographic factors are emerging factors explaining high rates of psychiatric disorders in PCOS. Ovulatory dysfunction, common in PCOS, significantly interferes with one's identity and quality of life.
Early Life Trauma, Emotion Dysregulation and Hormonal Sensitivity Across Female Reproductive Life Events.
Curr Psychiatry Rep

Mood Disorders Program and Women's Health Concerns Clinic, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, 100 West 5th Street, Hamilton, ON, L8N 3K7, Canada.
Purpose Of Review: To explore the relationship between early life trauma, hormonal sensitivity, and psychiatric disorders across female-reproductive life events, with a focus on the neurobiological mechanisms.
Recent Findings: Childhood trauma significantly increases the risk of subsequent mood disorders during periods of intense hormonal fluctuation such as premenstrual, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause. Neurobiological changes resulting from early trauma influence emotion regulation, which emerges as a key predisposing, exacerbating, and perpetuating factor to hormonal sensitivity and subsequent psychiatric symptoms.
