“…Indeed, we were not able to confirm a higher prevalence of affective disorders in anorexic and/or bulimic patients or to identify a particular cluster of Axis I disorders, probably as a consequence of secondary amenorrhea which appears to be a further variable to this complicated nosographic problem. In addition, we cannot rule out the possibility that a neurotic disturbance of personality traits, as it has been described in amenorrheic patients (Fioroni et al, 1991), may influence the development of Axis I disorders.…”

“…However, whether the presence of the reproductive failure is related to cognitive, emotional, and/or psychological features is still unknown. Indeed, even though we are currently understanding part of the neuroendocrine pathways involved in the impairment of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis activity leading to secondary amenorrhea (Yen & Jaffe, 1991), few attempts have been made to characterize simultaneously endocrine and psychiatric aspects of amenorrheic women (Kelley, Daniels, & Pol, 1954;Schindler, Frik, Goser, & Keller, 1979;Fioroni, Facchinetti, Cerutti, Nappi, & Genazzani, 1991;Giles & Berga, 1993). In addition, several psychopharmacological approaches are more or less associated with a certain degree of menstrual disorders (Flint & Stewart, 1983), contributing to a misunderstanding of the impact of psychic components on endocrine functioning and vice versa.…”

“…για τη δευτεροπαθή αμηνόρροια, βρέθηκε ότι το προφίλ της προσωπικότητας (MMPI) των ασθενών συμπεριλάμβανε ανασφάλεια, άγχος, υποχονδρίαση, κατάθλιψη, συναισθηματική αστάθεια και δυσκολία στην προσαρμογή σε ενοχλήσεις. Η μελέτη αυτή έδειξε ότι οι αμηνορροϊκές ασθενείς στη ζωή των οποίων συνέβη ένα σημαντικό γεγονός πριν την έναρξη της αμηνόρροιας, εμφανίζουν χαρακτηριστικά νευρωτικών προσωπικοτήτων και δείχνουν ανεπαρκείς αντιδράσεις στο stress [268].…”

“…Παρόλο που κατανοούμε σιγά σιγά τις νευροενδοκρινικές οδούς που εμπλέκονται στην παρεμπόδιση της δράσης του άξονα Υποθάλαμος Υπόφυση Γονάδες, και προκαλούν δευτεροπαθή αμηνόρροια [269], όλο και περισσότερες προσπάθειες γίνονται για εντοπισμό της ψυχολογικής δυσφορίας σε γυναίκες με ενδοκρινολογικής αιτιολογίας βλάβη στην αναπαραγωγική διαδικασία [123,223,268,270,271]. Το συνεχώς αυξανόμενο ενδιαφέρον για ψυχιατρική συννοσηρότητα υποδεικνύει ότι δίνεται έμφαση στον επαναπροσδιορισμό των ορίων των ψυχολογικών διαταραχών και της σχέσης τους με σωματικές καταστάσεις [272].…”
