Sari SA, et al. - Researchers conducted a cross-sectional study including 50 female adolescents who were diagnosed as having polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and 37 healthy adolescents, in order to examine these adolescents regarding body perception, self-esteem, and comorbid psychiatric diseases. The findings are suggestive of the presence of more psychopathology among adolescents with PCOS than their peers. Relative to control participants, the PCOS group had significantly higher rate of psychiatric disorders. Major depressive disorder was noted to be the most common disorder. Participants in the PCOS group had lower Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Body Image Scale scores, and higher Children's Depression Inventory scores relative to the controls thereby suggesting that adolescents with PCOS had lower self-esteem and had higher body perception dissatisfactions relative to their peers.
