Mood and Anxiety Disorders in Women
Mood and anxiety disorders in women represent an increasingly important area ofresearch
and treatment development.The authors take a broad biopsychosocial and developmental
approach to the issues,beginning with anxiety disorders in adolescence and progressing
through the life phases ofwomen to menopause and old age.All the disorders are covered,
from anxiety and borderline personality disorder to stress and late-life depression.Particular
attention is paid to questions ofvulnerability;epidemiological and clinical evidence showing
gender differences in such disorders;aetiological explanations in terms ofbiological
(including hormonal) as well as psychosocial parameters;and treatment implications.
