I will say again that the biggest thing we can do federally is to help women understand what they could face so that they know what they can expect from their mental health and from their treatment, and understand that there are some very specific things. There are different ways that we prescribe medication if somebody has trouble with their moods around the time of their period. Around the time of menopause, we get involved with reproductive endocrinologists and gynecologists, because we have to think about whether this should be hormone treatment or a different kind. I think awareness is important.
The second thing is, again, education. Approximately 50% of the people in the country are women, and yet it's not really in the core curriculum of training programs to talk about these women-specific things. Even when it comes to what dose of medication we should prescribe, we don't talk about how women absorb it more slowly, so it might fill up in their system higher and give them more side effects. We know these things, but we haven't.... The federal government could help us with integrating these things better as core components of curricular training.
Then, finally, we can always do more and more research that attends to sex and gender.
