Summary of Dr. Julie Holland's Moody Bitches - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Women's brains are wired differently from men's brains, and their hormones do make them more moody. They feel more, and for good reasons. They have always been asked to do difficult work, and their bodies have powerful coping mechanisms to meet these challenges. #2 The pharmaceutical industry has exploited our biological attribute of being more moody in women than men, by advertising antidepressants to women and stigmatizing depression as a feminine illness. #3 The overprescription of psychiatric medications is especially problematic for women.
As more women get breast implants, the rest of us feel flat chested. #4 The brain chemistry of women is complex, and it is not just about serotonin and estrogen. When estrogen levels drop, as they do in PMS, postpartum, or perimenopause, moods can plummet.
