Is it that time of the month? These are the words no man should ever utter. How about this for a diplomatic alternative: “Are your GABA receptors playing up?”

You may be spot on. It seems that these brain cells are to blame for some women’s monthly mood swings.

There’s a new book about the intimate role of the pharmaceutical industry in the construction of diseases, using the example of FSD (female sexual dysfunction). The authors are Ray Moynihan, an Australian investigative journalist with a longstanding interest in this topic, and Barbara Mintzes, Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology & Therapeutics at the University of British Columbia. I haven’t yet seen the book, but listened to the webinar, which is now available on the Canadian Women’s Health Network (CWHN) website.

Female hormones are potent modulators of brain chemicals, neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. The utility of bio-identical hormonal replacement therapy commonly practiced by anti-aging physicians not only improves the quality of life in female patients, it also prevents unnecessary depression, anxiety and insomnia disorders all of which cause subsequent addiction.

An updated edition of a mental health bible for doctors could mean that soon no-one will be classed as normal, experts warned today.

Diagnoses for ‘disorders’ could be based on symptoms including toddler tantrums, mild mood swings and binge eating.

Sweeping changes are being made to the U.S Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), which influences practitioners around the world.
