Symptoms tend to taper off with menstruation and women remain symptom-free until the two weeks or so prior to the next menstrual period. These regularly recurring symptoms from ovulation until menses typify PMS, premenstrual syndrome.

The average menstrual cycle is 28 days. At mid cycle (about day 14), production of the luteinizing hormone (the hormone responsible for ovulation) surges, which in turn triggers ovulation. During the second half of the menstrual cycle (about days 14 - 28), if the balance of estrogen and progesterone is stabilized, PMS responses are absent. However, if progesterone levels are abnormal, serotonin levels are lowered and depression can be triggered.

Originally described in 1931 by an American neurologist, the grouping of symptoms has remained the same:

A- Anxiety: irritable, crying without reason, verbally and sometimes physically abuse, feeling "out of control", or Dr. Jekyl-Mr. Hyde behavior changes.

D- Depression: confused, clumsy, forgetful, withdrawn, fearful, paranoid, suicidal thoughts and rarely suicidal actions.

C- Cravings: food cravings, usually for sweets or chocolate; diary products including cheese, an on occasion, alcohol or food in general.
