4 -- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is seen less frequently during the teens and 20s, and reaches a peak in women in their mid-30s. Major life stressors, age greater than 30, and depression are risk factors associated with PMS. The manifestations being exhibited are not consistent with menopausal symptoms. There are no indications of interpersonal relationship concerns. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder is PMS of such severity that it has a psychiatric label. This severe form of PMS affects a small number of women and is not indicated by the patient’s complaints.
