This review is from: Why Do I Feel This Way? What Every Woman Needs To Know About Depression (Paperback)

This non-medical book about depression is highly researched, informative, and well written. It explains why women more than men suffer depression, why it is difficult to

recognize/diagnosis, different treatments, and management techniques. I appreciated the author's candor and insight. This valuable book is definately worth the small price.
