In order to avoid misdiagnosis, these syndromes should be seen at least in two consecutive menstrual periods. Of 180 subjects who were given these questionnaire, only 72 subjects returned completed questionnaire. Results: the results showed that 9.7% of subjects had premenstrual syndrome. Age and marital status were not found to be related to this syndrome. The most prevalent psychological symptoms were moodiness, irritability, sadness, sleep disturbance, and the most prevalent somatic symptoms were headaches, back pain, acne, and frequent urination.}, Keywords = {}, volume = {5}, Number = {3}, pages = {4-10}, publisher = {Iran University of Medical Sciences and Health Services}, url = {http://ijpcp.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1761-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijpcp.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1761-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology}, issn = {1735-4315}, eissn = {2228-7515}, year = {2000} } @article{ author = {AhmadiAbhari, sayad ali and .Mohtasham, sae}, title = {Clinical trial of H2 blocker: augmentation treatment of Schizophrenia}, abstract ={  Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of famotidine, a H2 blocker, in the improving schizophrenic patients’ symptoms.   Method: 28 chronic schizophrenic patients were randomly assigned to two groups, with each group consisting of 14 patients. One group received 20 mg of haloperidol per day and the other group was on 40 mg famotidine and 20 mg of haloperidol per day. The effectiveness was assessed by the positive and negative symptoms scale which was administered at the beginning of the treatment, 28 days and again 42 days following the beginning of the experiment.

Granolocytopenia or agranulocytosis occurs in 1 to 2 percent of all patients treated with clozapine. agranulocytosis due to clozapine is a fatal disorder that requires immediate clinical intervention.   Method : this paper reports agranulocytosis after clozapine treatment in a 52 years old women with chronic schizophrenia. Conclusion: since agranulocytosis after clozapine treatment is rare and its side effects in psychotic patients are very few, it seems that clozapine with regular blood cell count is an effective drug in the treatment of refractory schizophrenia, patients with tradive dyskinesia and those experiencing severe extra pyramidal side effects.}, Keywords = {}, volume = {5}, Number = {3}, pages = {18-22}, publisher = {Iran University of Medical Sciences and Health Services}, url = {http://ijpcp.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1763-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijpcp.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1763-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology}, issn = {1735-4315}, eissn = {2228-7515}, year = {2000} } @article{ author = {AfkhamEbrahimi, azizeh and Daneshamooz, badri}, title = {The comorbidity of depression and personality disorders}, abstract ={  Introduction : comorbidity is a new term in psychiatric nosology which despite its expansive use is not clearly defined. Overlapping of axis I and Axis II disorders in multiaxial system of DSM and controversy over which disorders belong to which axis, have also complicated the issue. A number of studies investigating patterns of comorbidity for axis I and axis II disorders could not find a one to one relationship between axis I and axis II disorders. But specific personality disorders were found to co-occur in certain chronic conditions, particularly in dysthymia.   Purpose : the aim of this study is to investigate the comorbidity of depression and personality disorders. Method: 60 inpatient and outpatient clients who received a diagnosis of major depression or dysthymia were recruited from two psychiatric centers. The structured clinical interview for DSM and MCMI-II were used to assess the axis I and axis II disorders. Results: the results showed a comorbidity of depression and passive aggressive, schizoid, avoidant, antisocial and dependent personality disorders. This finding is similar to those reported in most studies. Since personality disorders might interfere with the treatment of clinical syndromes, the implications for treatment of dually diagnosed clients were discussed.}, Keywords = {}, volume = {5}, Number = {3}, pages = {22-30}, publisher = {Iran University of Medical Sciences and Health Services}, url = {http://ijpcp.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1764-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijpcp.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1764-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology}, issn = {1735-4315}, eissn = {2228-7515}, year = {2000} } @article{ author = {Naziri, ghasem and Birashk, behroz and Mohamadian, mehr}, title = {Perfectionistic child-rearing style and parents’ perfectionistic traits: predisposing factor for obsessive-compulsive disorder}, abstract ={  Purpose : the purpose of the present study was to investigate the assumptions that: 1) parents of obsessive compulsive patients rear their children in a perfectionistic manner and 2) these parents had perfectionistic traits. Method: in this retrospective study, based on DSM-IV diagnostic criteria and psychiatric interview, three groups of obsessive compulsive patients, depressed patients and normal individual, each consisting of 20 subjects, were studied. The latter two groups were control groups. All of the subjects reported their parents’ characteristics and child-rearing style by a questionnaire specifically developed for this purpose. The validity and reliability of this questionnaire were confirmed in a pilot study.   Results : the results supported the finding of other studies which had confirmed the assumption.

This article showed in spite of government wide efforts in two recent decades for decreasing substance abuse and drug illicit, founding of substance by police has been increased from 5.4 tone opium, hashish and heroin in 1974 to 194.7 tone in 1997. The most frequent substance abusers were in people with age range of 20-35, which in two recent decades had not changed. 60% to 70% of substance abusers were illiterate or had the least reading ability. It seems that in recent years prevalence of substance abuse were increased in marrieds.
