Abstract

Objective. To investigate the relationship between reproductive function (RF) and the recurrent depressive disorder (RDD) in women. Material and methods. The study comprised 120 women with RDD and 120 mentally healthy women aged 18-65 years. Results. The findings included quantitative characteristics of RF in women with RDD and healthy women. RDD was associated with a later onset and irregularity of menstruation, earlier recovery of menstrual function after childbirth, the occurrence of PMS and premenopause, which leads to a decrease in the number of pregnancies, births, and children. Depression impaired social and family adaptation. Depressions occurring in puberty and postmenopause had the most and the least harmful effect on RF, respectively. Conclusion. Depressive disorders are associated with periods of hormonal adjustment. Depressive symptoms in PMS may help predict depression in the future or indicate incomplete remission. Women with RDD had impaired menstrual function and decreased childbearing potential.
