Description: Each stage of a woman's life affects her mind and emotions. Family and work pressures, transitions from adolescence to womanhood, or motherhood to menopause, even the stresses of daily life can influence mental health.

This book is the only guide a woman needs to understand the fascinating chemistry of the mind and the intricate web of influences - genetic, sexual, and social - that affect mental well-being, what happens when things go wrong, and what women can do to help maintain lifelong mental health.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 336-338) and index.
