“…The studies on psychological well-being in PCOS girls are on many fields scarce and conflicting. Quality of life in adolescent girls with PCOS by some researchers is assessed as negatively influenced by the syndrome [21], whereas in other studies no relationship was found [22]. Ghazeeni et al, [23] showed no significant difference with anxiety and depression status between the adolescent girls with PCOS and healthy age-matched girls.…”

“…Two cross‐sectional studies reported no difference between the QoL in adolescent girls with PCOS when compared to matched healthy controls 27,28 ; however, these studies included a relatively small number of PCOS subjects ( n = 28 and n = 17) and one of them did not specify diagnosis criteria for PCOS 27 . One cross‐sectional study including 120 participants reported that QoL in adolescent girls with PCOS was moderately reduced, as outlined by the questionnaire scoring classification 26 .…”

Quality of life (QoL) is an important aspect of health and well‐being. QoL is reduced in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but there is limited data in adolescents. This review aimed to assess studies regarding the QoL of adolescent girls with PCOS. Five databases were searched for relevant studies. Studies were included if they were conducted in adolescent girls with PCOS, aged 12–22 years old, and used a questionnaire to measure QoL. The search identified a total of 254 studies, and after exclusions, 11 relevant studies were included in the review. Most studies had a relatively small sample size, but overall included a total of 512 adolescents with PCOS. In most cases, adolescent girls with PCOS have reduced QoL when compared to healthy girls, and PCOS symptoms/excess weight impact on their QoL. Further research is required due to limited data on QoL in adolescents with PCOS of normal weight.

“…They also reported that there were a negative correlation between age onset of PCOS symptoms and future mood disturbances which translates as early onset PCOS is at higher risk for psychiatric disorders 26 . In one study, 82.14% of PCOS adolescents were diagnosed with at least one psychiatric disorder and most common single diagnosis were major depressive disorder (21%) and social anxiety disorder (17%) 27 . Another study in the adolescent age group found no association between PCOS symptoms and depression, anxiety or distress 28 .…”

AimPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinological disorder in reproductive age and criterion have recently been revised for adolescent age group. Research regarding effects of PCOS on psychological well‐being is limited; and majority of the studies are conducted in adult patients. We aimed to examine psychological effects of PCOS in adolescents who are diagnosed using latest criterion.MethodsCases were divided into PCOS and control groups according to their clinical, ultrasonographical and biochemical features. Beck depression inventory (BDI), State & Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI‐I/II), Self‐Confidence Scale (SCS), Multidimensional Peer‐Victimization Scale (MPVS) and Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS‐A) were used in psychiatric evaluation.ResultsThere were no statistically significant differences between groups regarding psychiatric scale scores. However, several biochemical parameters (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, 17‐hydroxyprogesterone) and clinical (Ferriman–Gallwey score [FGS]) of hyperandrogenism affected certain indicators of psychological well‐being such as social anxiety, low self‐esteem and peer victimization. In some psychiatric scales, biochemical indicators were found correlated while clinical indicators were not.ConclusionSimilar psychiatric scale scores between groups may indicate preliminary stages for adolescent PCOS in which endocrinological, physical and social factors have not yet reached their full potential for their effect on emergence of psychological problems; thus making this age group critical for interventions of prevention measures. In addition, while examining the effects of PCOS on psychological well‐being, biochemical parameters of hyperandrogenism might be as effective as physical manifestations (FGS); and high levels of biochemical parameters of hyperandrogenism might also affect psychological state.
