POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME (PCOS): THE OVERLOOKED PSYCHIATRIC STRUGGLE
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age, yet its psychological impact is often overlooked. Beyond reproductive and metabolic concerns, women with PCOS face elevated risks of depression, anxiety, disordered eating, and impaired quality of life. Symptoms such as hirsutism, acne, obesity, and infertility contribute to body dissatisfaction, emotional distress, and social isolation, further worsening long-term mental health outcomes. Despite these challenges, psychiatric screening is rarely integrated into gynecology or endocrinology clinics. Incorporating simple tools like the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 can facilitate early detection and referral for appropriate care. Given the complex interplay of metabolic, reproductive, and psychological factors, multidisciplinary collaboration among gynecologists, dietitians, and mental health professionals is essential. Recognizing PCOS as a whole-person condition and prioritizing psychological assessment within routine care can improve well-being and ensure more comprehensive patient management.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
