Abstract

The authors studied the menstrual histories of 200 patients who had sought psychiatric help in order to determine the phase in which they came for help. The results demonstrated that the menstrual period, the premenstrual phase, and the midcycle intervals were the times of peak psychiatric contact. The authors discuss the significance of these findings to the management of certain types of psychiatric patients.
