This is a fact, but what is not clear is the reason why. Researchers from four Madrid-based health centres have shown that family conflict is not a significant factor. However, the results published in the journal Atención Primaria are striking: in Spain, 24% of women take antidepressants and more than 30% take tranquillisers. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> "The use of psychopharmaceuticals is often related to family or work-related problems. We wanted to see if there was actually a positive link between the consumption of antidepressants and benzodiazepines and any kind of family dysfunction", Sonsoles Pérez, lead author of the study published in the renowned journal Atención Primaria, and a doctor at the Las Águilas Health Centre in Madrid, tells SINC. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> "Although one might think that family conflicts lead to greater consumption of psychopharmaceuticals among women, we did not find any such relationship", the researcher says, adding that the use of such drugs depends a lot on the population segment taking them. "Some people with family, work-related or financial problems do not feel able to tackle their problems and fall back on the use of drugs", Pérez points out. </p> <img src="../../health_images/2009/women-antidepressants2.jpg" width="250" height="199" hspace="5" align="right" /> <p class="MsoNormal"> The scientists also found that benzodiazepine use increases with age. However, they did not find the same with antidepressant use. "We think that greater training is needed in identifying SLE and family dysfunction, and recording these in patients' records in order to help psychologists, psychiatrists and primary healthcare specialists", Pérez concludes. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> The relationship between the use of psychopharmaceuticals and family dysfunction has not been well studied. In order to gain a better understanding of family impacts on healthcare, and the effects of this illness on the family, the experts use numerical family functioning scales, such as the Apgar family test and the Stressful Life Events scale (SLE). </p> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="../../images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="6" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" bgcolor="#F1F1F1"><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> function emailform() { if(document.femail.name.value=="") { alert("Please Enter Your Name."); document.femail.name.focus(); return false; } if(document.femail.email.value=="") { alert("Please Enter Your Email."); document.femail.email.focus(); return false; } if(document.femail.comment.value=="") { alert("Please Enter Comment."); document.femail.comment.focus(); return false; } return true; } </script> <form name="femail" method="post" action="../../comment.php" onsubmit="return emailform();"> <table width="545" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td height="26" background="../../../../images/opinion_poll.jpg"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="4%" height="26" align="center"><img src="../../../../images/arrow.jpg" width="9" height="12" /></td> <td width="96%" class="bold1">Post Your Comments</td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td><table width="500" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td height="14"><input name="article" type="hidden" id="article" value="Shahid Kapoor: Chocolate Boy" /></td> <td height="14"> </td> <td height="14"> </td> <td height="14"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="91" height="26">Your Name:</td> <td width="159" height="26"> <input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="20" /></td> <td width="93" height="26">Your Email:</td> <td width="157" height="26"> <input name="email" type="text" id="email" size="20" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="26">Comments:</td> <td height="26"> </td> <td height="26"> </td> <td height="26"> </td> </tr> <tr align="center"> <td height="26" colspan="4"> <textarea name="comment" cols="50" rows="3" id="comment"></textarea> </td> </tr> <tr align="center"> <td height="34" colspan="4"> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> </table> </form></td> </tr> </table></td> <td width="206" valign="top"><table width="198" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td height="24" align="center" background="../../images/opinion_poll.jpg"><strong><font color="#FFFFFF">i-entertainment search</font></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" class="tbl"> <tr> <td align="center"><style type="text/css"> @import url(http://www.google.com/cse/api/branding.css); </style> <div class="cse-branding-bottom" style="background-color:#F8F7F7;color:#000000"> <div class="cse-branding-form"> <form action="http://www.i-entertainment.org/entertainment-search.html" id="cse-search-box"> <div> <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-0314300151385138:j7l5uq9sial" /> <input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:10" /> <input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1" /> <input type="text" name="q" size="26" /> <input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" /> </div> </form> </div> <div class="cse-branding-logo"> <img src="http://www.google.com/../../images/poweredby_transparent/poweredby_FFFFFF.gif" alt="Google" /> </div> <div class="cse-branding-text"> Custom Search </div> </div></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="5"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8" class="tbl"> <tr> <td align="center" height="20"><script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" height="5"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="24" align="center" background="../../../../images/opinion_poll.jpg"><strong><font color="#FFFFFF"> Opinion Poll</font></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#f1f1f1"><form action="../../opinion_poll2.php" method="post" name="form2" id="form2"> <table width="98%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td colspan="2">Will Rahul Gandhi be the Prime Minister one day?
