Abstract

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) has been the subject of many myths and widespread disbeliefs. Descriptions of the syndrome date back to biblical times, when women experiencing menstrually related mood and behavioral disturbances were believed to be “possessed.” Centuries later, the prevalent view considered these symptom disturbances as psychological in origin. In 1931, a classic description of the premenstrual tension syndrome by Dr. Robert Frank (1) was one of the first to propose a possible hormonal etiology for the occurrence of these symptoms.
