  • Title: Irritability and sociability in women with symptomatic premenstrual change.
    Author: Marean M, Fox EE, Cumming CE, Cumming DC.
    Journal: Women Health; 1998; 27(3):65-71. PubMed ID: 9698638.
    Abstract:
    Sociability and irritability are commonly cited symptoms of premenstrual syndrome but there has been little investigation of these cycle related changes using clearly defined test instruments. We examined the two symptoms using symptom specific subscales from the Multiscore Depression Inventory (Berndt, 1983). Clear and consistent cycle related changes in irritability and sociability were seen in 20 women with prospectively validated symptomatic premenstrual change but not in a control group of 8 women without symptomatic premenstrual change. The study suggests that these variables can be measured using specific brief scales.
