Objective:To determine if women with high psychologic distress attending a menopause clinic report more previous psychiatric disorders (especially depression), or psychologic distress associated with oral contraceptive use and reproductive cycle events than women with low psychologic distress attending the clinic.Method:Consecutive women attending a university hospital menopause clinic were administered the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). Women with high psychologic distress (who met case severity on the BSI general severity index) were compared to a similar number of the lowest scoring clinic women on their reports of previous psychiatric diagnoses and treatment, and depression or distress related to oral contraceptive use, the premenstrual period, or associated with pregnancy.Results:The forty-four women with high psychologic distress were significantly more likely than the forty-two menopause clinic patients with low psychologic distress to report a past psychiatric diagnosis (usually depression) (p = 0...
