Is Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) a Mental Disorder? |
I want to know the difference if PMS is mental disorder as compared to a phsical malady. Pre Menstrual Syndrome is a physical malady that has symptoms in personality or emotions of the sufferer..... just as severe pain will have symptoms in personality and emotions.... The human body has a myriad of chemicals that it can release to attempt to deal with physical maladies, many hormones are also released into the bloodstream to achieve specific purposes in a normal life. Sometimes the chemicals released to achieve one thing will have adverse effects in other areas... it is just the way we work.. i don't think so, i have a BA in psychology and it never came up in the abnormal psych class. I think pms comes from hormonal changes in your body which change your mood...so it's probably considered more of a physical dysfunction or issue rather than a psychological one. Hormonal problem. Balance the hormones and everyone is much happier. Myself. I've often wondered what was wrong with President Bush PMS is definately a hormonal imbalance problem! It has nothing to do with any mental problems. no. previous versions of DSM (Diagnostic statistical manual of mental disorders) I think included this as well as homosexuality as mental disorders. current versions of DSM (like the DSM-IV) have excluded such items PMS is not a mental disorder...more like physical symptoms of menstruation |
