“…The correlation between self-silencing and depression and anxiety could account for a portion of the discrepancy in rates of depression and anxiety between men and women, with the rate of women being twice that of men across the lifetime (Kessler et al, 1994(Kessler et al, , 1995Weissman et al, 1994Weissman et al, , 1996Gater et al, 1998). Self-silencing has been constructed around social and cultural mandates which encourage women to put others first, and silence themselves when necessary to maintain harmony (Jack, 1991).…”

"Marianismo", a gender role script in Latin America, is the concept that women should be the spiritual family leaders, remain abstinent until marriage, and be submissive to their husbands; it originates from the Catholic Church's image of the Virgin Mary. I examined the link between Marianismo identity, self-silencing, depression and anxiety in a sample of 47 women from the town of Santa Maria de Dota, Costa Rica, who completed self-report scales. I found positive correlations between Marianismo identity and self-silencing, and between self-silencing and both anxiety and depression. Older women rated higher in Marianismo and self-silencing.

“…4 Variations in the prevalence of depressive disorders among countries have been recognized at least since a cross-national study of major depression and bipolar disorder was conducted across 10 countries during the 1980s. 5 The prevalence of having any World Mental Health Composite International Diagnostic Instrument 6 or Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4 th edition 7 (WMH-CIDI/DSM-IV) in the prior year varied widely, from 4.3 % in Shanghai to 26.4 % in the United States. 8 Similarly, lifetime prevalence estimates of any mental disorder varied widely from > 40% in the Netherlands and the U.S. to levels of 12 % in Turkey and 20 % in Mexico.…”

“…1,2 Bipolar disorder is a chronic illness that affects approximately 1% of the population, and most patients require lifetime therapy. 3,4 Lithium has been used in the treatment of bipolar disorder in the past 50 years, but it has a narrow therapeutic window. At the therapeutic plasma concentration (0.5 to 1 mM), it has several side effects such as thirst, weight gain, tremor, polyuria, and memory problems, but at > 2 mM plasma concentration, toxic effects occur, including nausea, vomiting, and even convulsion.…”

High-Throughput Cell-Based Screening Using Scintillation Proximity Assay for the Discovery of Inositol Phosphatase Inhibitors

et al. 2004

Inositol monophosphatase is a potential drug target for developing lithium-mimetic agents for the treatment of bipolar disorder. Enzyme-based assays have been traditionally used in compound screening to identify inositol monophosphatase inhibitors. A cell-based screening assay in which the compound needs to cross the cell membrane before reaching the target enzyme offers a new approach for discovering novel structure leads of the inositol monophosphatase inhibitor. The authors have recently reported a high-throughput measurement of G-protein-coupled receptor activation by determining inositol phosphates in cell extracts using scintillation proximity assay. This cell-based assay has been modified to allow the determination of inositol monophosphatase activity instead of G-protein-coupled receptors. The enzyme is also assayed in its native form and physiological environment. The authors have applied this cell-based assay to the high-throughput screening of a large compound collection and identified several novel inositol monophosphatase inhibitors.
