Представлены литературные данные о полиморфизме психических расстройств в периоде перименопаузы у женщин и о теориях возникновения климактерического синдрома. ...огласно современной гипотезе, мелатонин обладает антигонадотропными свойствами. Резкое снижение уровня мелатонина в организме человека в период полового созревания способствует активации гонадотропной функции гипофиза, выработке фолликул стимулирующего гормона и лютеинизирующего гормона, которые оказывают стимулирующее влияние на половые железы. Участие мелатонина в патогенезе климактерического синдрома изучено недостаточно, а исследования, посвященные использованию мелатонина в качестве лечебного средства, противоречивы. Дальнейшее изучение роли мелатонина в возникновении КС позволит понять возможности психофармакотерапии рассматриваемых расстройств.

The environment in which young people live, learn and play significantly affects their decisions about whether to consume alcohol. Environmental factors are the main risk factors driving alcohol consumption and related harm among young people. Environments that normalize alcohol consumption – term...ed alcogenic environments – include contexts with unregulated advertising and marketing of alcoholic beverages, higher alcohol outlet density, products designed to facilitate affordability and low prices of alcoholic beverages. A recent body of research evidence has emerged related to the measurement, functional significance and consequences of living in alcogenic environments. This includes findings on the complex and bidirectional interactions among alcohol acceptability, availability and affordability and how they create and perpetuate alcogenic environments. Comprehensive and enforced alcohol control policies are effective at delaying the age of onset and lowering alcohol prevalence and frequency among young people. Evidence consistently confirms the effectiveness of designing and implementing alcohol control policies that regulate upstream the drivers of alcogenic environment, including alcohol availability, acceptability and affordability. These policies need to be multipronged and address the complex interactions between these drivers and the local alcohol culture
