Abstract
A study was conducted in 96 females suffering from PMS. Behavioral symptoms appearing during PMS were noticed. It was found that there is a substantial link between PMS and behavior alterations.
Depression, aggression, irritability etc. were recognized as extremely common symptoms of the syndrome. Considering at this point, these psychological symptoms associated with PMS might form a plea of insanity for some female offenders.
