Представлены литературные данные о полиморфизме психических расстройств в периоде перименопаузы у женщин и о теориях возникновения климактерического синдрома. ...огласно современной гипотезе, мелатонин обладает антигонадотропными свойствами. Резкое снижение уровня мелатонина в организме человека в период полового созревания способствует активации гонадотропной функции гипофиза, выработке фолликул стимулирующего гормона и лютеинизирующего гормона, которые оказывают стимулирующее влияние на половые железы. Участие мелатонина в патогенезе климактерического синдрома изучено недостаточно, а исследования, посвященные использованию мелатонина в качестве лечебного средства, противоречивы. Дальнейшее изучение роли мелатонина в возникновении КС позволит понять возможности психофармакотерапии рассматриваемых расстройств.
