Abstract
The authors have identified six unusual manifestations of premenstrual syndrome:
(i) typical premenstrual dysphoric disorder symptoms during ovulation;
(ii) upper airway infection in the premenstrual phase that remits after onset of menstruation;
(iii) recurrent perimenstrual erythematous and edematous skin plaques;
(iv) hypomanic or manic state 2-3 days before onset of menstruation;
(v) auditory hallucinations and delusion of reference, present only premenstrually; and
(vi) remitted bipolar disorder presenting with premenstrual psychotic features.
Psychiatrists should be aware of menstrual cycle-related changes in mental illness, physical illness, or both in women of reproductive age, if cyclic trends are suspected.
