About this ebook
Discover a groundbreaking approach to overcoming depression, overthinking, and unhealthy habits in this compelling book from the author of Women Who Think Too Much
Depression is a common and debilitating problem among women, often co-existing with overthinking, unhealthy eating habits, and/or heavy drinking. In fact, 80 percent of women who report suffering from one of these issues also suffer from another. In Women Conquering Depression, renowned psychologist Susan Nolen-Hoeksema explains how these three core problems reinforce one another, wreaking havoc on women's emotional well-being, physical health, relationships, and careers.
Through vivid narratives that capture the complexities of women's lives today, Nolen-Hoeksema reveals how to harness your emotional and interpersonal strengths to overcome the stress caused by this "Toxic Triangle." She provides effective, healthier strategies for coping with depressive symptoms, mood regulation, unhealthy habits, and pessimism. Whether you are aware you suffer from a serious problem or have not yet examined the destructive role of overthinking, binge eating, or alcohol in your life, escape is possible. Women Conquering Depression shows you how to break the cycle, regain control, and live the life you deserve.
