Metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) is a cluster of conditions, such as increase in waist circumference, dyslipidemia (elevated triglyceride levels and reduced HDL), increased blood pressure, and increased fasting blood sugar levels that is related to insulin resistance, diabetes, and elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. Women with PCOS have a significantly higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) compared to the general population, with studies indicating a prevalence of around 43-47% in PCOS women. PLUS, there is a high prevalence of moderate to severe depressive symptoms and depression in adults and adolescents with PCOS; therefore, screening for depression in all adults and adolescents with PCOS is encouraged. In this episode, we will review a new publication for the J Clinical Endo & Metabolism discussing this combination (PCOS and depression/anxiety) and the MetSyn, and we will review the EXPANDED indications for metformin for metabolic syndrome prevention/treatment according to the 2023 PCOS updated guidance.
