Psychologic Manifestations of the Menstrual Cycle

S. CHARLES FREED M.D. and WILLIAM S. KROGER M.D.

The cyclic elaboration of ovarian hormones responsible for the menstrual cycle induces appreciable emotional responses. Direct evidence on the role of the separate ovarian hormones on the psyche is still inadequate. Indirect evidence based on clinical observations and especially the interpretation of the unconscious material of women undergoing psychoanalyses is most significant, but not conclusive. There is still to be explained the relationship between the psychological manifestations and the numerous somatic changes produced by the ovarian hormones. These changes involve anatomical, biochemical and physiological alterations of gonadal and extra-gonadal tissues and organs.
