Details:
Valerie Raskin, Chicago psychiatrist specializing in women's psychopharmacology, leads women suffering from depression through the minefield of antidepressant drugs by explaining in non-technical language how these drugs can affect - for better or worse - their lives and the lives of those around them.
In this book, details of the many treatment options now available for women with anxiety and depressive disorders are given, together with the various causes for these disorders, their common symptoms, how diagnoses are made and how various medications work. The book also gives information on how these medications may affect women's bodies during menstruation, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and gives advice on such side-effects as weight gain and loss of sex drive.
