Social trends in prescribing mood-modifying drugs to women.
The author of this article looks at the accumulating research evidence which suggests that there has been inappropriate prescribing and overprescribing of mood-altering drugs to women. This, he holds, in large part reflects problems that are best approached from within the tradition and perspective of social medicine. Socio-health considerations illuminate the need for research in this field.
