Abstract

Some studies have indicated that oestrogen therapy may be beneficial in the treatment of a number of neuropsychiatric disorders. However, it has been suggested that psychiatrists fail to prescribe oestrogen therapy to their patients, as they are 'not aware of' or 'do not believe' studies supporting their use. This paper reappraises the putative role of hormone treatments, particularly oestrogen therapy, in psychiatry.

摘要

一些研究表明，雌激素治疗可能对多种神经精神疾病的治疗有益。然而，有研究认为精神科医生并未为其患者开具雌激素治疗处方，因为他们“不知道”或“不相信”支持其使用的研究。本文重新评估了激素治疗，特别是雌激素治疗，在精神病学中的潜在作用。
