A nationwide Swedish cohort study involving over 3.6 million women reveals significant bidirectional associations between premenstrual disorders and psychiatric disorders. Results indicate that women with premenstrual disorders are twice as likely to develop psychiatric conditions, particularly depression and anxiety, while those with psychiatric issues have increased odds of being diagnosed with premenstrual disorders. The study supports the need for sex-specific psychiatric care, considering shared biological pathways and genetic factors. Findings were based on registry data from 2001 to 2022.
