1. AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
Summit on Women and Depression
Women are at least twice as likely as men to experience a major depressive episode. Topics include etiology of sex and gender differences, treatment across the life span, and treatment of special populations.

2. FDA CONSUMER MAGAZINE
Fighting Phobias
A phobia is an intense, unrealistic fear of an object, an event, or a feeling. An estimated 18 percent of the U.S. adult population suffers from some kind of phobia, and a person can develop a phobia of anything.

3. NATIONAL CENTER ON ADDICTION AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE
Under the Rug: Substance Abuse and the Mature Woman
By any standard of public health measurement, substance abuse and addiction has reached epidemic levels for American women over age 59.

4. AMERICAN FAMILY PHYSICIAN
Optimal Management of Cholesterol Levels and the Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease in Women
Coronary heart disease, the leading cause of death in women, is largely preventable. Lifestyle modifications (e.g., diet and exercise) are the cornerstone of primary and secondary prevention.
5. POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE
Making a Decision about ERT/HRT
The decision for or against HRT requires balancing the known and potential benefits and risks with each women's preferences/needs.
6. NIH CONSENSUS STATEMENTS
Osteoporosis Prevention, Diagnosis, and Therapy
In U.S. today, 10 million individuals already have osteoporosis, and 18 million more have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for this disorder.

7. NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH
Depression: What Every Woman Should Know
Research has shown that in the United States about 19 million people-one in ten adults-experience depression each year, and nearly two-thirds do not get the help they need.

8. NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH
Alcohol: A Women's Health Issue
Alcohol is yet another health issue for women. Drinking, even in small amounts, affects women differently than men. And heavy drinking, in some ways, is much more risky for women than it is for men.
