Newton001 Tackling mental health disorders in females

贫穷与心理健康状况不佳有关：在社会经济C和D阶层中发病率最高，心理健康问题在妇女中比在男子中更为普遍。精神健康状况不佳影响到受影响个人的福利以及社会的社会和经济发展。经前综合症（PMS）是女性最常见的心理健康障碍之一。围绝经期是女性生命中另一个以心理困扰为特征的时期。抑郁症在女性中也有很高的患病率。尽管在精神健康障碍方面存在女性偏见，但绝大多数关于精神疾病的基础研究和新药物治疗的开发仍然几乎完全使用雄性动物模型进行。我们的研究方案旨在教育公众特别是与妇女有关的心理健康问题。我们还旨在加强对年轻研究人员的培训，以加强女性心理健康领域的研究基础。有三个主要目标：1。巩固和扩大英国和巴西研究小组在女性心理健康障碍方面的现有合作2。为年轻科学家设立培训计划，让他们了解研究女性所需的特殊方法。制定一项教育计划，鼓励公众参与和了解精神健康问题。

Poverty is associated with poor mental health: the incidence is highest in socio-economic classes C and D and mental health issues are more prevalent in women than men. Poor mental health impacts on the welfare of afflicted individuals as well as the social and economic development of societies. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is one of the most common mental health disturbances in women. The peri-menopause is another time in women's lives that is characterised by psychological distress. Depressive illness also has a high prevalence in women. Despite the female bias in mental health disorders, the vast majority of basic research into psychiatric diseases and development of new drug treatments continues to be carried out almost exclusively using male animal models. Our programme of research has been designed to educate th public about mental health issues specifically related to women. We also aim to improve training got young research workers in order to strengthen the research base in the field of female mental health. There are three main objectives: 1.to consolidate and expand an existing collaboration between research groups in the UK and Brazil working on female mental health disorders2. to set up training programme for young scientists on the special approaches required for research on females 3. to develop an educational programme to stimulate public engagement and understanding of mental health issues.
