Sumario:One hundred consecutive women attending psychiatric services at NIMHANS during the period of January 1987 - March 1987 were studied to see differences in demographic profile, presenting complaints and psychiatric diagnosis in the two different age groups (25-35 years and 40-50 years). The majority of patients in age group 40-50 years (Perimenopausal) were illiterate, multiparous and coming from a rural Hindu background. Somatic, depressive/somatic features were commonest presenting complaints (66%). Most of the perimenopausal women were suffering from affective/neurotic syndromes (87%). 21 % of the women (age group 40-50 years) had associated physical problems.
