This provocative, deeply personal book explores how women experience mental health care differently than menand lays out how the system must change for women to flourish.
Why are so many women feeling anxious, stressed out, and depressed, and why are they not getting the help they need? Over the past decade, mood disorders have skyrocketed among women, who are twice as likely to be diagnosed as men. Yet 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 All in Her Head, 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. Weaving together science and women's personal stories, All in Her Head debunks mental health myths and challenges misconceptions, addressing the following questions:
- When did normal emotions become symptoms of a disorder?
- What are specific risk factors for common mental disorders that disproportionately affect women?
- How did burnout become a women's disease?
- What can we do to make peace with our moods and embrace the gifts of our emotions?
Today, a rising movement of women is demanding better when it comes to mental health treatment. Armed with the latest science, insight from those who have been through the therapeutic system, and enough humor to lighten the load, All in Her Head provides women with hope and courage to reframe and reclaim their mental health.
