From the supplier: Depressed women with a history of passive behavior show poor results with purely psychopharmacologic treatment as it reinforces their feelings of dependence and helplessness. Psychiatric nurses should see a red flag when depressed women completely accept psychopharmacologic ideology while not taking any personal part in treatment. Nurses knowledgeable about women's issues must take a proactive role in treatment and counter the tendency of depressed women and their loved ones to passively submit to the treatment encouraged by psychopharmacology.
