The relationship between PCOS and Mental Health
What is PCOS?
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting 5-10% of women. Its symptoms start arising around puberty and can be seen in adolescence through acne, weight gain and excessive hair growth; in adulthood through irregular menses and infertility; and in late reproductive age through the appearance of the menstrual cycle again.
