WOMEN’S MENTAL HEALTH IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS

Mental Illness in Australian Women
• In Australia in 2007, 43 per cent of women (3.5 million) had experienced mental illness at some time in their lives.
• 22% of Australian women compared to 18% of men experienced symptoms of a mental disorder during the previous twelve-months
• (National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing: Summary of Results, 2007)
![Page 3: 20151009 Central Clinical School public lecture: Jayashri Kulkarni](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033106/58a988e31a28ab412d8b58d9/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Anxiety disorders (18% of women compared to 11% of men).
• Mood disorders, such as depression (10% of women compared with 5% of men)
• 15-30% of women report depression after childbirth
• Eating disorders affect more women than men • Deliberate self-harm 20x increased rates in
women than men

GENDER & MENTAL HEALTH
• Mental health (like physical health) is clearly gendered.
• Men and women have different patterns of mental illness and other forms of mental distress and they are exposed to different risk factors and vulnerabilities.
• A number of different theories have been proposed for the gender differences in the prevalence of mental health problems
![Page 5: 20151009 Central Clinical School public lecture: Jayashri Kulkarni](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033106/58a988e31a28ab412d8b58d9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Theories to Explain Gender Differences in Mental Illness
• ‘Women’s bodies’ or biological theories, ‘women’s personality’ or psychological theories, and ‘women’s lives’ or social theories
• A BIO – PSYCHO - SOCIAL approach is urgently needed to integrate all of these theories
![Page 6: 20151009 Central Clinical School public lecture: Jayashri Kulkarni](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033106/58a988e31a28ab412d8b58d9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Women and Mental Disorders
• BIOLOGY: Hormone impacts, gender differences in drug metabolism systems, brain circuitry and genetic transmission.
• PSYCHOLOGY: Psychiatric illnesses may present very differently in men and women because of gender differences in psychological responses and defences
• SOCIAL: Violence, poverty, gender inequities in wages, power, social roles
![Page 7: 20151009 Central Clinical School public lecture: Jayashri Kulkarni](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033106/58a988e31a28ab412d8b58d9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
WOMEN’S MENTAL HEALTH
• Currently women’s mental health is not a national priority.
• This is not good enough!• Improving women’s mental health is
intimately tied to improving her well being + productivity, the next generations’ outcomes and the mental health of her family & our community.

With chronic stress, this effect continues

Our RESEARCH in CTD
• New treatments being developed for people with CTD
• Hormone treatments for women with CTD• New clinical approach by linking trauma
with biological changes, renaming the condition
• Special psychotherapy• Education of health professionals, general
public about CTD

Perimenopausal Depression
![Page 23: 20151009 Central Clinical School public lecture: Jayashri Kulkarni](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033106/58a988e31a28ab412d8b58d9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
PERIMENOPAUSAL DEPRESSION• Very high incidence of first time ever depression in perimenopause. Even higher relapse risk of depression in women with past history. Overall depression rates increase sixteen times in 42-52 year old women.• Declining hormone function occurring from age 43-55. Brain changes happen first – up to 5 years before hot flushes, periods ceasing• The fluctuations in estrogen appear to cause this depression
![Page 24: 20151009 Central Clinical School public lecture: Jayashri Kulkarni](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033106/58a988e31a28ab412d8b58d9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
PERIMENOPAUSE DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS
• Plummeting self – esteem• Paranoid ideas• Aggression• Disconnection• No libido• Irritable / agitated• Weight gain• Poor sleep (compounded by hot flushes)• Memory/ concentration changes• Panic /anxiety
![Page 25: 20151009 Central Clinical School public lecture: Jayashri Kulkarni](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033106/58a988e31a28ab412d8b58d9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
NEW APPROACHES: OUR RESEARCH
• Recognition of the condition• Safe, shorter –term hormone treatment• Different antidepressant approach (on/off)• Physical health overview – tackle weight
gain, wine consumption, lack of exercise• Working with natural medicines too

INTRODUCTION75% of Australian women report using a contraceptive medication at some time
Discontinuation of hormonal contraceptives due to mood side-effects is very common!

WHAT DOES THE LITERATURE TELL US?
Not much!
Currently, despite the pill being used worldwide by millions of women for over 50 years, we have no
way of predicting which women are likely to experience adverse effects of OCs on mood, nor
which OC formulations are more likely to be responsible.

Which “Pill” is best for mood?
• From our studies (ongoing) and clinical practice:• Low dose estradiol ( 20mcg) – worse for depression• Drospirenone ( Yaz,Yasmin) – worse for aggressive behaviours• Norethisterone, levonorgestrel, medroxyprogesterone in OCs –
not great for mood• Progesterone –only - worst of all for mood ( especially depot
provera or Implanon(etonogestrel)• Multiphasic OCs worse for mood than monophasic OCs• Best so far for mood is ZOELY ( nomegestrol + 1.5mg
oestradiol). But has weight gain and acne side effects• STILL WAITING FOR A GOOD OC FOR MOOD AND OTHER
ADVERSE EFFECTS

The Cost of Mental Illness in Women
• The economic impact of depression/ anxiety in women in Australia due to direct lost productivity is estimated to be $22 billion per year (ABS 2012 data)
• Add in costs of treatments, lostearnings, cost of loss of effective parenting of children, divorce, lossof care of elderly and other……….

New Approaches Needed Now
• One size does not fit all!• Specific mental health approaches for
women urgently needed
![Page 44: 20151009 Central Clinical School public lecture: Jayashri Kulkarni](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033106/58a988e31a28ab412d8b58d9/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
An Integrated, Tailored Approach• We need to tackle the culture – to decrease violence, decrease
drug and alcohol use, increase productivity for good mental and physical health for women and men.
• Pursue Women’s Health and Women’s Mental Health agendas vigorously.
• Provide new women focused treatments through more research • Provide more advocacy• Address safety, privacy and treatment access issues for women
with mental ill health• Continue with “White ribbon” programmes and more.• Pursue gender equality in pay, social responsibility and equity
domains.
