Survey study, 2021

# Do anger and fatigue from PMS affect family relationships and responsibilities?

Yes. Anger and fatigue are linked to difficulties with family functions and responsibilities. Together, these two symptoms explain about 42% of the variation in how much PMS affects family life.

 Early or limited evidence

120 women with PMS in Ardabil, Iran

## What they did

A survey of 120 women with diagnosed PMS in Iran used standardized tools to measure anger, fatigue, daily symptoms, and family functioning.

## What they found

Anger and fatigue were significantly linked to family functions in women with PMS. Anger and fatigue together explained 42% of the variation in family functions.

## What it means for you

Anger and fatigue are major ways that PMS affects family relationships and daily responsibilities. Psychological training to help manage these symptoms could improve family life for women with PMS. The study only included women already diagnosed with PMS in one Iranian city, so results may not apply to all women. The study shows correlation but cannot prove anger and fatigue cause family problems.
