• W1988496259 abstract "Fervently involved in exploring, theorizing and interrupting the medicalization of women’s madness and sexuality, I have been feeling more than a little immobilized of late – struck by how, despite decades of feminist defiance, women remain continually subject to discourses, technologies and politics that continue to marginalize and pathologize our (raced, classed and sexed) distresses and desires. Simultaneously provoked and disheartened by this ongoing enactment of medicalization alongside our critiques, I am experiencing some sort of intellectual boundedness; it is as though we are moving in circles. Thus, I would like to use this brief space of commentary to fracture the light Jane Ussher (2010) shines on the medicalization of depression by attending to (some of) the politics and economics of the knowledges she critiques. In particular I shall direct our gaze toward a small handful of the assemblages through and with which the hormonal discourse of women’s distress circulates. I do this in the hope that it may help illuminate how this seductive system of medicalization is being continually repeated and I therefore imagine possibilities for how, as feminist psychologists, we might move to evoke change in approaches to women’s distress. Ussher argues that ‘the primary explanation put forward for reports of women’s higher rates of depression is reproductive hormones’ (2010: 4), which is supposedly evident in findings that depression is most prevalent around puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, early motherhood and menopause. She goes on to problematize this theory, by drawing upon studies that do not find any correlation between hormones and depression, that offer alternative explanations embedded in women’s social and relational contexts and that attend to the discursive construction of women’s experiences of distress as pathology. Yet, despite convincing counter-evidence such as this, the notion that women have distressing hormones remains the dominant ‘primary explanation’. Why? The continued enactment of this medicalization suggests that the hormonal discourse serves a function ‘bigger than’ representing the evidence. But what? And (perhaps more importantly) for whom?" @default.
