The younger a woman get her first menstrual increasingly vulnerable to depression in adolescence it. These conclusions were obtained from the results of a study conducted in the UK on women aged 10, 13 and 14 years. The respondents were investigated the relationship between early age of their menstruation for the first time and their level of depressive symptoms.

The study, reported in the British Journal of Psychiatry found that women who first got menstruating at the age of about 11.5 years of depression tend to be susceptible at age 13-14 years. The woman who first got menstruation at the age of approximately 13.5 years earlier had no symptoms.
