CIRCADIAN rhythm disorders driven by changes in the sleep-wake cycle has been identified as one of the major causes of depression, the fourth most disabling disease in Malaysia, affecting up to 10% of the population.
Misdiagnosis and/or sub-optimal treatment of depression and the relatively little attention paid to changes to circadian rhythms that control physical, mental and behavioural patterns that follow roughly a 24-hour cycle is further hampering treatment of this malady.

The “Super Mom Syndrome,” as some call it, is a phenomenon that affects millions of women around the country. Some believe it is a product of generational conditioning, some believe it’s the result of biological differences between the genders, and a few secretly cast blame on that pesky June Cleaver, who effortlessly set a precedent for the American mother that few of us will ever be able to impersonate.

Jennifer Hughes’s placenta was delivered ten minutes after her first child, just before midnight on March 31. It was on the large side, with a liverish texture and a bluish tinge; it measured nine inches in diameter and weighed a pound and a half. Placentas are considered biohazardous waste by the medical Establishment and are usually disposed of accordingly. Some hospitals send the afterbirth in formaldehyde to a pathology lab for analysis before it is carted off by a tissue-disposal service; others toss it out with bloody miscellany in special containers.

University of Massachusetts professor Chris Bobel is the author of the soon to be released book New Blood: Third-Wave Feminism and the Politics of Menstruation. In this two-part interview she unpacks periods and the activism, advertising and controversy that makes them so very personal and so very political.
How did you come to see menstruation as more than a personal matter?
A slogan menstrual activists use is ‘We’re Making Bleedin’ Everyone’s Issue.’ As women, we are expected to keep our periods hidden and silenced. We internalize this attitude, and police each other: Women learn to hate their bodies, seeing them through racism, ageism and sexism as problems to be fixed through constant ‘improvements’ – that too big nose, too-dark skin, too-narrow eyes, tiny breasts, fat butt. And now we can ‘improve’ the body even more – we can eliminate menstruation altogether with pills such as Lybrel and Seasonique.

While science is still unable to distinguish between these two individuals before they start drinking, recent advances in addiction research show promise in explaining why some people can engage in potentially addictive activities in moderation while others cannot.
