A study conducted by the University of Illinois at Chicago reveals that menstrual cycles have an impact on day-to-day suicide risk. Clinical psychologist Tory Eisenlohr-Moul discovered that many of her patients experienced changes in their suicidal thoughts and depression symptoms based on their menstrual cycle. This finding sheds light on the importance of considering menstrual cycles in mental health treatment.
When Tory Eisenlohr-Moul was training as a therapist, she saw people who had chronic suicidal thoughts — thoughts that would abruptly change from week to week. But when one of Eisenlohr-Moul’s patients mentioned her menstrual cycle was impacting her symptoms, the clinical psychologist homed in on how menses might be part of the equation.
“I started having people track their mood symptoms against their menstrual cycle and it seemed, for a lot of my patients, this was a really important reason that their suicidal thoughts and depression were changing week to week,” said the associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Illinois Chicago
