A depression resource for women


 

References

The National Institute of Mental Health has produced an educational pamphlet about depression specifically for women. “Depression in women,” which is available at http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/depression-in-women/depression-in-women-2013-trifold_149411.pdf, describes the signs and symptoms of depression, its causes and its treatments. The pamphlet also covers depression-related topics specific to women, such as premenstrual dysphoric disorder and what a woman needs to know about taking an antidepressant during pregnancy.
