(Nearly twice as many women as men suffer from depression ...)
Nearly twice as many women as men suffer from depression or anxiety, interfering with their ability to work and care for themselves and their loved ones. In this book, Deborah Sichel and Jeanne Watson Driscoll show how depression and anxiety are the results of a process of long-term chemical "loading" as the brain repeatedly "revs up" in response to stress. Here, they share their unique self-care program, NURSE: Nourishment and Needs, Understanding, Rest and Relaxation, Spirituality, and Exercise, to help the brain self-stabilize and prevent future problems.

(Postpartum depression has become a more recognized mental...)
Postpartum depression has become a more recognized mental illness over the past decade as a result of education and increased awareness. Traumatic childbirth, however, is still often overlooked, resulting in a scarcity of information for health professionals. This is in spite of up to 34% of new mothers reporting experiencing traumatic childbirth and prevalence rates rising for high-risk mothers, such as those who experience stillbirth or who had very low birth weight infants. This ground-breaking book brings together an academic, a clinician, and a birth trauma activist. Each chapter discusses current research, women's stories, the common themes in the stories, and the implications of these for practice, clinical case studies, and a clinician's insights and recommendations for care.

Jeanne Watson Driscoll was born on August 23, 1949, in New York City, New York, United States.
Jeanne Driscoll received her Bachelor of Science degree in nursing at the University of Delaware in 1971. Then she obtained a Master of Science degree in adult psychiatric health nursing at Boston College in 1975. She also attended the University of Connecticut.
Jeanne Driscoll is a certified psychiatric adult health nurse who specializes in topics regarding women's health, particularly issues involving emotional well-being, hormonal fluctuations, and postpartum depression. Now she maintains a private psychotherapy practice specializing in the care of women experiencing mood and anxiety disorders during their reproductive years.
Driscoll is known as the author of books on these topics as well. In her first book, Taking Care of Your New Baby: A Guide to Infant Care, Driscoll and coauthor Marsha Walker provide guidance on how to care for infants during the first several months after their birth. Although the book focuses largely on the relationship that exists between a mother and a child - broaching topics such as the emotional adjustments a mother must make after her child is born - Driscoll and Walker also address paternal needs and changes.
Driscoll co-wrote her second book, Women's Moods: What Every Woman Must Know About Hormones, the Brain, and Emotional Health, with her Hestia Institute colleague Deborah Sichel. The authors discuss their theory about why twice as many women suffer from depression and anxiety as do men. According to Driscoll and Sichel, women are more prone to depression, anxiety, and other mood problems because of their unique brain chemistry. In addition to discussing the science behind their theory, the authors offer advice on what women can do about mood fluctuations and mental illnesses.
For instance, they advocate the early use of medication in an attempt to prohibit problems before they become firmly established. However, they also point out that medications must be customized to a woman's own unique physiological makeup. In addition, the authors propose the use of a therapeutic regimen that they call "NURSE" (nourishment, understanding, relaxation, spirituality, and exercise).
Driscoll's practice also included work as a psychotherapy nurse at the Hestia Institute: Center for Women and Families of which she is also a co-founder. Besides her main activity, she is also a consultant, educator, and public speaker.
