Premenstrual disorders (PMDs) and perinatal depression (PND) share symptomology and the timing of symptoms of both conditions coincide with natural hormonal fluctuations, which may indicate a shared etiology. Yet, there is a notable absence of prospective data on the potential bidirectional association between these conditions, which is crucial for guiding clinical management. Using the Swedish nationwide registers with prospectively collected data, we aimed to investigate the bidirectional association between PMDs and PND. ⋯ In this study, we observed a bidirectional association between PMDs and PND. These findings suggest that a history of PMDs can inform PND susceptibility and vice versa and lend support to the shared etiology between both disorders.
