Gendered Moodsoffers the first feminist analysis of the gendered character of psychotropic drug use, based on studies of long-term psychotropic drug users and the content of drug advertising. The authors argue that gender differences in psychotropic drug use are manifestations of the gendered construction of society as a whole, and that, as a result, women are particularly susceptible to being channelled into a state of dependency on prescribed drugs. Exploring current social scientific debates relating to drug users and providers, Gendered Moodsalso provides a critical review of previous research. It is a much needed introduction to a neglected area of study.GENDERED MOODS DrugsPsychotropic drugsWomenMedicinePharmacySocial SciencePsychotropic drugsDrug useWomenWomenPsychotropic DrugsSex FactorsAffectPersonsEmotionsEpidemiologic FactorsCentral Nervous System AgentsNamed GroupsQuality of Health CarePublic HealthTherapeutic UsesBehavior and Behavior MechanismsHealth Care Quality, Access, and EvaluationEnvironment and Public HealthPsychiatry and PsychologyPharmacologic ActionsChemical Actions and UsesDelivery of Health CareChemicals and DrugsPharmacy, Therapeutics, & PharmacologyHILCCHealth & Biological SciencesHILCCElectronic books.Drugs.Psychotropic drugs.Women.Medicine.Pharmacy.Social Science.Psychotropic drugsDrug useWomenWomen.Psychotropic DrugsSex Factors.Affect.Persons.EmotionsEpidemiologic Factors.Central Nervous System AgentsNamed GroupsQuality of Health Care.Public HealthTherapeutic UsesBehavior and Behavior MechanismsHealth Care Quality, Access, and Evaluation.Environment and Public Health.Psychiatry and PsychologyPharmacologic Actions.Chemical Actions and Uses.Delivery of Health Care.Chemicals and DrugsPharmacy, Therapeutics, & PharmacologyHealth & Biological Sciences306.461615/.788Ettorre Elizabeth M.960925Riska ElianneOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK996199872603316Gendered Moods2178399UNISA
