A guide which aims to go beyond facts and figures to get to the practical theories of women's emotional health. Presented here is what experts know about maintaining emotional well-being in women, and about preventing, recognizing and treating the psychological disturbances and disorders that some women experience. Just as depression and anxiety are more common among women, many psychiatric disorders are exacerbated by the natural rhythms in a woman's life cycle, such as menarche, menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth and menopause. The book aims to offer expert insight into why and how such patterns occur, as well as coping strategies for insomnia, substance abuse, domestic violence and sexual abuse which can occur at any stage of life. More importantly the authors answer such question as: what works best for treating panic attacks and phobias, should psychotherapy be used in tandem with drugs, how does one choose among group, individual or family therapy, what are the benefits and drawbacks of drugs such as prozac, beta blocks and tranquilizers, are psychiatric problems passed on to children and what are the merits of acupuncture, hypnosis, meditation and sex therapy?
