Hormonal Changes and Depression: What is the Connection?
Date:11/13/2007

Society for Women's Health Research Report and Media Briefing Explore Impact of Hormonal Transitions on Women's Mood Disorders

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Women are more susceptible to mood disorders and depression during hormonal transitions, such as pregnancy, postpartum and perimenopause, according to a new report by the Society for Women's Health Research, a Washington, D.C.-based advocacy organization, released at a media briefing held at the Palace Hotel in New York City today.

The report summarizes a June 2007 thought leaders' roundtable of eight national experts convened by the Society and the National Institute of Mental Health to discuss current efforts to understand the effects of hormonal transitions on mood disorders in women and to make recommendations for future research.

"Women need to be critically aware of changes in their moods during key life cycle events," said Sherry Marts, Ph.D. and vice president of scientific affairs for the Society. "The roundtable kicked off a much needed discussion about the relationship between hormonal transitions and mood disorders. Through the media briefing and the publishing of this report we hope to generate a broader understanding of how we can use this knowledge to improve health outcomes for women."

Leading women's health experts and roundtable participants Peter Schmidt, M.D., an investigator in the National Institute of Mental Health's Reproductive Endocrine Studies Unit, and Zachary Stowe, M.D., an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and gynecology and obstetrics at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Ga., reconvened at the briefing to discuss their research findings detailed in the report. They were joined on the briefing panel by Meir Steiner, M.D., Ph.D., a professor of psychiatry and behavioral neurosciences, obstetrics and gynecology at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Marts moderated the session. '/>"/>
