Study of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) in women with borderline personality disorder (BPD)

Description 
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a common and severe psychiatric illness. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) may be more severe in patients with BPD, and may also increase psychiatric symptoms leading up to menstruation. The aim of this study is to characterise PMDD symptoms and severity in patients with BPD, and also to examine BPD symptom severity across a one-month interval.
