Abstract

Women with functional hypothalamic amenorrhea display multiple neuroendocrine aberrations suggestive of altered central neurotransmission. The role of antecedent stress as an explanation for both the neurochemical changes and the dysfunctional behavior of these women is examined by utilizing concepts provided by the animal model of inescapable shock and the human condition of post traumatic stress disorder.
