Objective       To investigate the mental health status of women with cyclomastopathy.       Methods      Totally 675 cyclomastopathy patients were recruited from Southwest Hospital and Daping Hospital

Chongqing from June to December 2012 in this study. Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA)

Hamilton depression scale (HAMD)

neuroticism extraversion openness (NEO)

and life event scale (LES) were employed to measure their metal health status.       Results      The patients with anxious state accounted for 85.90％

and those with depressive state for 81.63％. There were 75.26% patients having their LES over 20 points. All patients had significantly higher neuroticism

factors scores than the norm (

P

0.01)

while obviously lower extraversion factors scores (

P

0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that mental health status of patients was closely related to family life factors

neuroticism factors

work and study factors and extraversion factors.       Conclusion      Women with cyclomastopathy are commonly in poor mental health status

especially in anxious state and depressive state. Beside life events

personality and illness also interact with each other. Therefore

sufficient psychological intervention should be given to these women.
