Abstract
The polycystic ovary syndrome is a gynaecological disorder of endocrine origin, with an alarmingly growing prevalence among women of reproductive age. Although there is no doubt about the impact of its symptoms on the mental health of involved women, there are only a few studies addressing the psychological or psychiatric aspects of this disorder. Present review of literature discusses psychological and psychosocial effects associated with the symptoms (hair growth, infertility, sexual life, obesity, skin problems), possible comorbid psychiatric disorders (depression, anxiety, eating disorders), and possibilities of therapeutic interventions (diet, workout, psychotherapy, cosmetic interventions).
