Archives of Women's Mental Health, AWMH, would like to contribute to a better understanding of women's mental health from an interdisciplinary point of view, reflecting the whole field of women's mental health. This includes psychological, social, and biological aspects of women's mental health - their well-being, as well as the specificities of psychiatric and psychosomatic disorders in women. This also includes articles on sex- and gender differences in mental disorders and on specific risk factors for women's mental health. So please submit respective studies from the fields of epidemiology, basic research, stress research, psycho-endocrinology, neuroimaging, neuropsychology, sociology, etc. Interdisciplinary studies are especially welcome. As the exchange of knowledge between psychiatrists and obstetrician-gynaecologists is one of the major aims of the journal, studies focusing on the interface between psychiatry/psychology on the one hand and gynaecology/obstetrics on the other hand are of special interest. We are also interested in training and education in women's mental health, in mentoring for female mental health professionals, and - last not least - in policies for the prevention of mental illness in women. With our publications we want to assist clinicians, teachers, and researchers to incorporate knowledge of all aspects of women's mental health into current and future clinical care, teaching, and research. AWMH publishes rigorously reviewed original research papers, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, short communications, letters to the editor, and invited editorials. We also like to publish topical collections on topics of interest, which can be suggested by distinguished researchers. Only contributions of interest for an international readership and written in English will be accepted. AWMH is the official journal of Marcé Society, the North American Society for Psychosocial Obstetrics and Gynecology (NASPOG) and the International Association for Women's Mental Health (IAWMH) and therefore also publishes information on and abstracts from their conferences.
