Introduction
Cinderellas stepmother syndrome is named after Cinderella who was fairy-tale
character oppressed by her stepfamily until she magically attends a ball and
ultimately marries a prince. During this tenure, she suffers with a lot of abuses,
anxieties and depression. In this way she represents a syndrome often seen in day to
day life.

Cinderellas Stepmother syndrome and Homoeopathy

Definition
Cinderella's stepmother syndrome is the term used to describe the behaviors that stepmothers
display in order to become more accepted by the family. (Causa occasionalis/ Psora/ Syphilis/
Sycosis)

Etymology
Cinderella complex - fear of being independent causes unconscious desire to
be taken care of by others.
Cinderella syndrome - false accusations made by adopted children of being
mistreated or neglected by their stepmothers.
Cinderella dermatosis - skin disease characterized by ash-gray macules
occurring most often on palms, extremities, buttocks, and scalp.
Cinderella stepmother syndrome - overcompensation by a stepmother in an
effort to be accepted into new family.
Cinderella-in-reverse syndrome - the stepmothers sacrifice to be better than
best and her tendency to overcompensate at her expense.
Mini wife syndrome the extraordinarily attached daughter becomes insecure and
depressed after entry of a stepmother.

Super Stepmom Syndrome - Stepmothers feel the pressure and expectations

from all angles; their husband, his kids, the ex-spouse and her kids as well (if she
has any). As a result, some have a tendency to react to the emotional stresses
within the stepfamily by becoming over-involved.
Evil stepmother syndrome - stepmother feels pleasure in teasing and
neglecting her step children.

Causes
Step mothering is itself the seamless hurricane for depression. The main causes are
as below-

Loneliness and Estrangement

Stepmothers often feel detached from their husbands over stepfamily issues. (Psora)

Rumination
When people ruminate, they over-think or obsess about situations or life events,
such as work or relationships. There starts a cycle of rethinking the past, worrying
excessively about the future, not taking action, going over and over the same issues,
letting concern spread to other issues, until there is a rush of concern and a feeling
of being stunned. (Psora/ Syphilis)

Relational Tendencies

The combination of the stepmothers relational tendencies with that of her often less
emotional or relational husband and a bunch of annoyed step children may cause a
lot of depression. (Psora)

Overcompensation
The stepmothers sacrifice to be better than best and her tendency to
overcompensate at her expense may lead to Cinderella-in-reverse syndrome. (Psora/
Syphilis)

Disempowering double standards

Stepchildren are allowed and supported to dislike and resent their stepmothers,
while a stepmother must always show unconditional love for her stepchildren. (Psora/
Sycosis)

Punching bag syndrome

Often, stepmothers get blamed for things they are not responsible for. (Psora/
Syphilis)

Unsupportive husbands
Remarried men with children may expect their wives to be more maternal than they
were with their children. Such expectations can crash with womens schedules and
desires. (Psora)

Professional preference and bad advice

Stepmothers often face a lot of bad advices and forced acts which they never expect.
(Psora)

Pathophysiology
The monoamine-deficiency theory postulates that the underlying pathophysiological
basis of depression is a reduction of the neurotransmitters (Psora/ Syphilis)
serotonin, norepinephrine or dopamine in the central nervous system. Serotonin is
the most extensively studied neurotransmitter in depression.

Role of neurotransmitters in depression

Psychosocial stress and stress hormones like neurotransmitters such as serotonin,
norepinephrine, dopamine, glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as well
as neurocircuitry, neurotrophic factors, and circadian rhythms are responsible for
depression.

Symptoms

Preoccupation with position in the family

Anxiety
Feeling of rejection
Feeling if ineffectiveness
Feeling of guilt
Feeling of hostility
Exhaustion
Loss of self-esteem
