Throughout the world, rates of depression are greater among females
than males, and this gender gap emerges during adolescence and
persists throughout adulthood. Until recently, women's health has
centered on the topic of reproductive health, because research
focused almost exclusively on biological and anatomical differences
distinguishing men and women. Social and behavioral research on
gender differences in health now employs multiple disciplinary
frameworks and methodologies, and researchers seek to understand
the higher rates of specific diseases and disorders in women and
men. Symptoms of depression and the diagnosis of depression are
more prevalent in women, and research that focuses on biological,
psychological, and sociopolitical explanations for this gender gap
should now be brought together to better inform efforts at
treatment and prevention. Women and Depression is a handbook that
serves to move toward a more integrative approach to women's
depression in particular and mental health for all more generally.
Unlike other mindfulness resources for moms and moms-to-be, this
compassionate book is grounded in mindfulness-based cognitive
therapy, a proven program. The authors are leading experts on the
emotional challenges of pregnancy and early parenting--and how to
overcome them. Guided meditations and gentle yoga practices help
you build crucial skills to prevent depression, ease anxiety, and
minimize stress during this unique and important phase of your
life. Clear suggestions for how to follow the program day by day
are accompanied by moving reflections from a "circle of mothers"
working through the same steps. In a convenient large-size format,
the book features journaling exercises and other practical tools
(you can download and print additional copies as needed). The
companion website also includes audio downloads narrated by
renowned meditation teacher Sharon Salzberg, plus video clips of
prenatal yoga practices.
