| Summary: | Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is the most severe form of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). It impacts
the lives and productivity of women worldwide. The literature review found eight studies conducted on PMS and
menstruation in Malaysia. However, none of these studies focused on PMDD and reported the utilization of psychometrically valid and reliable tools in assessing it. One of the common measures used to assess PMDD is Daily
Record of Severity of Problems (DRSP). Items in DRSP are based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders, Fifth edition. Currently, there are two published studies on the validation of DRSP and its psychometric
properties which will be discussed in this paper. The review shows that an ongoing adaptation and validation study
of DRSP among Malaysian is being conducted. This will contribute to the body of knowledge regarding PMDD in
local settings. |
