Premenstrual symptoms (PMS) may be aggravated by social or environmental stressors. An explanatory model incorporating the effects of stress, social support, and menstrual cyclicity is proposed. This paper discusses the effectiveness of social support as an adjunct to conventional treatment for PMS, and describes the results of a pilot study. The results indicate that peer social support, in combination with other treatments, may serve to educate; to provide support to adhere to difficult treatment regimens; and to indirectly reduce the severity of premenstrual symptoms.
