PCOS are more likely to suffer from mental health disorders and should be routinely screened for these during medical assessments, according to a study presented at the Society for Endocrinology annual conference in Harrogate. These findings support previous work showing that the condition may negatively affect mental health and highlight the importance of screening PCOS patients for mental health disorders.</p> <p>PCOS is a common condition, affecting 5-10% of women globally, in which elevated male hormone levels can cause a range of distressing and life-limiting symptoms, including reduced fertility, irregular periods, excessive facial and body hair, and acne. Previous studies have suggested a link between PCOS and poor mental health in women but the studies were small and did not adequately take other factors that can affect mental health into consideration. In addition, high levels of testosterone during pregnancy have been reported to increase the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, such as ADHD and autism, in children. </p> <p>In this study, researchers from the Neuroscience and Mental Health Research Institute at Cardiff University retrospectively assessed the mental health history of over 17,000 women diagnosed with PCOS. The study followed these patients from PCOS diagnosis and across routine follow- up assessments, for a minimum of 6 months. When compared with unaffected women, matched for age, body mass index and geographical location, the study found that PCOS patients were more likely to be diagnosed with mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. Children born to mothers with PCOS were also found to be at greater risk of developing ADHD and autism spectrum disorder. These findings suggest that women with PCOS should be screened for mental health disorders, to ensure early diagnosis and treatment and ultimately improve their quality of life.</p> <p>Dr Aled Rees, study lead comments, “The effect of PCOS on mental health is under-appreciated. Our work shows that screening for mental health disorders should be considered during clinical assessments.”</p> <p>Dr Rees and his group now hope to investigate if genetic factors that contribute to the risk of PCOS, also contribute to the risk of autism and ADHD, which may help to reveal new biological pathways implicated in these disorders, and lead to new treatments.</p> <p>Dr Rees says, “Further research is needed to confirm the neurodevelopmental effects of PCOS, and to address whether all or some types of patients with PCOS are exposed to mental health risks.”</p> <hr/> <div class="sfe-panel sfe-panel-bg-lighter-gray sfe-panel-no-border"> <div class="panel-body"> <div class="media"> <div class="media-body"> <p>The study “Polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with adverse mental health and neurodevelopmental outcomes: a retrospective, observational study” was presented by Aled Rees on 6 November 2017, at the Society for Endocrinology BES 2017 Conference in Harrogate, UK.</p> <p>The Society for Endocrinology’s annual conference was held at the Harrogate Convention Centre from 6-8 November 2017. The conference featured some of the world’s leading basic and clinical endocrinologists presenting their work.</p> <p>The Society for Endocrinology is the UK home of endocrinology. We bring together the global endocrine community to share ideas and advance our discipline. As a membership organisation, we support scientists, clinicians and nurses who work with hormones throughout their careers. We also engage policy-makers, journalists, patients and the public with hormone science to encourage informed health decisions, and to demonstrate the value of endocrinology to the wider world. <span>Further information can be found at </span><span><a href="/">www.endocrinology.org</a>.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> <div class="region-sidebar-second col-12 col-lg-3"> <p><a href="/press/" class="btn btn-primary">Contact the press office</a></p> <h3>Recent press releases</h3> <div class="list-bs-section-viewer"> <div class="list-bs-section-viewer-simple list-group" id="list-bs-text-filter-29f79ed7-679e-4c23-aae9-c7ecf102c6a8"> <a href="/press/press-releases/obesity-related-gut-damage-may-worsen-asthma-symptoms/" class="list-group-item bs-cluster-item list-group-item-action "> Obesity-related gut damage may worsen asthma symptoms </a> <a href="/press/press-releases/evidence-based-recommendations-on-menopause-management-advise-individualised-care/" class="list-group-item bs-cluster-item list-group-item-action "> Evidence-based recommendations on menopause management advise individualised care </a> <a href="/press/press-releases/obesity-related-fertility-issues-may-be-improved-by-correcting-blood-sugar-levels/" class="list-group-item bs-cluster-item list-group-item-action "> Obesity-related fertility issues may be improved by correcting blood sugar levels </a> <a href="/press/press-releases/dexamethasone-effectively-reduces-covid-19-deaths-but-potential-diabetic-like-complications-should-be-monitored/" class="list-group-item bs-cluster-item list-group-item-action "> Dexamethasone effectively reduces COVID-19 deaths but potential diabetic-like complications should be monitored </a> </div> </div> <h3>Endocrinology in the news</h3> <div class="list-group"> <a href="/news/article/23269/professor-alex-comninos-wins-prestigious-researcher-award-at-this-year-s-royal-college-of-physicians-and-national-institute-for-health-and-care-research-annual-ceremony" class="list-group-item col-sm-6 col-md-12 news-type news-1262 news-1296 news-1297 news-1299 news-1301 "> <div class="d-flex h-100 align-items-center"> <div class="flex-shrink-0 mr-4 "> <div class="rounded-circle bg-azure d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center p-3"><span class="fa fa-user-md fa-2x"></span></div> </div> <div class=" flex-grow-1 ms-3 mb-2 text-left text-start "> <div class="media-heading sfe-sans-serif-medium">Clinical news | <time datetime="2024-12-04">Dec 2024</time></div> <h3 class="h5 text-navy sfe-sans-serif-medium">Professor Alex Comninos Wins Prestigious Researcher Award at This Year’s Royal College of Physicians and National Institute for Health and Care Research Annual Ceremony</h3> </div> </div> </a> <a href="/news/article/23262/british-menopause-society-issues-statement-in-response-to-bbc-ones-panorama-documentary-30-september-2024" class="list-group-item col-sm-6 col-md-12 news-type news-1296 news-1297 news-1299 "> <div class="d-flex h-100 align-items-center"> <div class="flex-shrink-0 mr-4 "> <div class="rounded-circle bg-azure d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center p-3"><span class="fa fa-user-md fa-2x"></span></div> </div> <div class=" flex-grow-1 ms-3 mb-2 text-left text-start "> <div class="media-heading sfe-sans-serif-medium">Clinical news | <time datetime="2024-10-07">Oct 2024</time></div> <h3 class="h5 text-navy sfe-sans-serif-medium">British Menopause Society issues statement in response to BBC One's Panorama documentary (30 September 2024)</h3> </div> </div> </a> <a href="/news/article/23261/addison-s-disease-self-help-group-update-ambulance-care-moving-away-from-red-flagging" class="list-group-item col-sm-6 col-md-12 news-type news-1296 news-1297 news-1299 "> <div class="d-flex h-100 align-items-center"> <div class="flex-shrink-0 mr-4 "> <div class="rounded-circle bg-azure d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center p-3"><span class="fa fa-user-md fa-2x"></span></div> </div> <div class=" flex-grow-1 ms-3 mb-2 text-left text-start "> <div class="media-heading sfe-sans-serif-medium">Clinical news | <time datetime="2024-10-07">Oct 2024</time></div> <h3 class="h5 text-navy sfe-sans-serif-medium">Addison’s Disease Self-Help Group Update -
