The effects of PMS/PMDD on attention and shortterm memory in adolescent girls

Objective: There are few studies of premenstrual syndrome (PMS)/premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) in adolescents. The research conducted to date generally consists of prevalence studies that did not evaluate neuropsychological parameters. This study was designed to assess neurocognitive functions, such as attention and memory, in adolescent girls diagnosed with PMS or PMDD during different phases of the menstrual cycle. Method: A total of 86 adolescents aged 14-18 years completed the Premenstrual Assessment Form (PAF). Of that initial group, 56 who had a score of ≥1.7, indicating the presence of PMS, were enrolled; 20 were subsequently excluded. A final group of 36 with PMS/PMDD and 30 controls (PAF
