Of 174 women presenting symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), 40% had a history as victims of sexual abuse. Thirty-three percent were of a high-SES (socioeconomic status) group and 52% of a low-SES group. The authors found a connection between sexual abuse and psychiatric hospitalization for women seeking treatment for PMS. Beck Depression Inventory scores were high, supporting current research indicating a prevalence of affective disorders in women seeking treatment for PMS. However, the authors found few differences between the high- and low-SES groups. Specific questioning regarding a history of adverse sexual experiences is critical in evaluating all patients.
