Is Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) a Mental Disorder?



I want to know the difference if PMS is mental disorder as compared to a phsical malady.

Pre Menstrual Syndrome is a physical malady that has symptoms in personality or emotions of the sufferer.....

just as severe pain will have symptoms in personality and emotions....

The human body has a myriad of chemicals that it can release to attempt to deal with physical maladies, many hormones are also released into the bloodstream to achieve specific purposes in a normal life. Sometimes the chemicals released to achieve one thing will have adverse effects in other areas...

it is just the way we work..
i don't think so, i have a BA in psychology and it never came up in the abnormal psych class. I think pms comes from hormonal changes in your body which change your mood...so it's probably considered more of a physical dysfunction or issue rather than a psychological one.
Hormonal problem. Balance the hormones and everyone is much happier.
Myself.
I've often wondered what was wrong with President Bush
PMS is definately a hormonal imbalance problem! It has nothing to do with any mental problems.
no.

previous versions of DSM (Diagnostic statistical manual of mental disorders) I think included this as well as homosexuality as mental disorders.

current versions of DSM (like the DSM-IV) have excluded such items

PMS is not a mental disorder...more like physical symptoms of menstruation
