| Summary |
"Recent research has shown a dramatic increase in the number of women and girls suffering with mental health problems. The Female Mind is an up-to-date overview of how gender and sexuality affect mental health and will help women to self-identify and self-manage the symptoms of mental ill health. It gives information on the modern woman's place in the ever-changing social landscape, examining the influences of cultural and historical factors as well as discussing the physical science of the female brain and how it functions differently. It covers a wide range of specific mental health disorders - many of which are more common in women - and includes real-life case studies, the latest treatments and where to find further help and support. In today's digital age people can access a broad range of information without necessarily knowing how reliable, accurate and up-to-date it is, or how relevant it is to them as an individual. All forty chapters in The Female Mind are written by experts in the field who draw on the latest high-quality evidence and present it in an easy-to-read format that provides an invaluable guide to women. It will help you to have better, more informed and confident communication with your doctors and healthcare practitioners."--Publisher description |
