"Over the past decade, mood disorders have skyrocketed among women, who are twice as likely to be diagnosed as men. ... In a healthcare system steeped in gender bias, women's complaints are often dismissed, their normal emotions are pathologized, and treatments routinely fail to address the root causes of their distress. Women living at the crossroads of racial, economic, and other identities face additional barriers. How can we pinpoint what's wrong with women's mental health, and what needs to change? In [this book], science writer Misty Pratt embarks on a crucial investigation, painting a picture of a system that is failing women on multiple levels. Pratt, who shares her own history of mental illness, explores the stereotypes that have shaped how we understand and treat women's distress, from the ancient Greek concept of hysteria to today's self-help solutions"--
