幾個世紀以來，女性的精神障礙和生殖功能之間的關系一直吸引著科學思想家。然而，到目前為止，關于精神疾病及其治療的性別和性別差異的研究還很不夠。在許多情況下，婦產科事件或條件在精神疾病中的作用沒有得到承認:許多婦女對月經和更年期的精神方面有疑問和擔憂。對子宮切除或失去或終止妊娠的感覺可能在當前沖突的動態中發揮作用。許多躁狂、抑郁和其他精神疾病都與內分泌學有關。性虐待是幾個主要精神疾病患者歷史上的一個常見特征。目前生殖技術的發展對精神病學家來說也是新的挑戰?！秼D女心理健康檔案》的編輯們希望這本雜志能幫助臨床醫生、教師和研究人員將婦女心理健康的各個方面的知識納入當前和未來的臨床護理和研究。該雜志的范圍包括心理動力學，社會和生物學方面的所有精神和心身疾病的婦女。編輯們特別歡迎跨學科的研究集中在精神病學、心理醫學、產科和婦科之間的接口。精神科醫生和婦產科醫生之間的知識交流是該雜志的主要目的之一。“女性的心理健康檔案”發布嚴格的審查研究論文原始通訊案例報告綜述文章短書評和信件編輯的相關精神和心身障礙的女性月經周期妊娠分娩和準更年期精神病方面的childloss墮胎和絕育和準更年期孕產婦精神疾病和紊亂的母嬰依戀母親和精神的和所有其他方面健康性別差異在精神病理學精神藥理學和精神疾病流行病學精神藥品和他們在懷孕和哺乳期間使用的安全卵巢激素和神經化學之間的關系和其他精神疾病的生物方面女性心理精神障礙的文化和種族方面女性家庭暴力的精神方面聯絡精神病學在女子醫院規劃專業心理健康為女性激素治療相關精神障礙的女性生殖系統影響月經周期，藥物代謝動力學，精神藥物，心理方面的女性癌癥，女性性功能障礙，酒精和藥物濫用的實踐

The relationship between mental disorders and reproductive functions in women has fascinated scientific thinkers for centuries. Nevertheless it has been well documented that sex and gender differences in mental illness and their treatment are understudied until now. In many cases the role of the obstetric-gynecologic event or condition in the psychiatric illness is not recognized: Many women have questions and concerns about psychiatric aspects of menstruation and menopause. Feelings about hysterectomy or the loss or termination of a pregnancy may play a role in the dynamics of a current conflict. Many manias depressions and other psychoses are related to endocrinology. Sexual abuse is a frequent feature of the history of patients with several major psychiatric disorders. Current developments in reproductive technology are new challenges for psychiatrists as well. The editors of "Archives of Women's Mental Health" hope that this journal will assist clinicians teachers and researchers to incorporate knowledge of all aspects of women's mental health into current and future clinical care and research. The journal's scope includes psychodynamics social and biological aspects of all psychiatric and psychosomatic disorders in women. The editors especially welcome interdisciplinary studies focussing on the interface between psychiatry psychosomatics obstetrics and gynecology. The exchange of knowledge between psychiatrists and obstetrician-gynecologists is one of the major aims of the journal.
