DESCRIPTION:
..Imagine being so sensitive to your body’s premenstrual hormones that two weeks out of every four are a living nightmare. Imagine becoming so ill that you fear that you’ll struggle to bond with your children. Imagine knowing that something is wrong but not getting any credible diagnoses. And then imagine the relief of finally finding a doctor who says ‘I believe you’, who diagnoses reproductive depression and who says they can help you. This is the powerful experience of Caroline Church, who spent over twenty years of her life trying to live with the nightmare that came once a month, as it’s the story of millions of others who ride the same menstrual rollercoaster. This includes post-natal depression, premenstrual disorders and the menopausal transition. Caroline describes her own experiences with vivid and uncompromising honesty and explains how to get help, not only from the medical profession but also by learning how the body works.
REVIEWS:
"A really heartbreaking but interesting and thoughtful account of living with reproductive depression across the lifespan, from puberty to the menopause and everything in-between.

I hope Caroline's book paves the way for more knowledge, more research and more care for anyone suffering from reproductive depression." __Emily Buet "I cannot recommend this book enough. A raw and honest account of the truth about hormone disorders....
