PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

In this fully revised and updated edition, neuroscientist Dr Sarah McKay delivers the essential guide to understanding women's brain health and wellbeing, redefining how we think and talk about the female brain across the lifespan.

Women's brain health is no longer a niche topic. Neuroscience is uncovering answers to questions women have pondered for generations - demystifying everything from puberty, periods, contraception, pregnancy, sex and love to menopause, hormone therapy and dementia.

Understanding how the brain is shaped by genetics, hormones and life experiences is vital for women to maintain their health and embrace their unique strengths at every stage of life.

This empowering and practical book takes you on a journey through the lifespan, exploring:

- Life in utero

- Infancy and childhood

- Puberty and the teenage brain

- The menstrual cycle

- Sex, love and relationships

- Pregnancy and motherhood

- Menopause

- Depression, anxiety and mental health

- The ageing brain

Dr McKay weaves together the latest research, captivating stories and interviews with leading neuroscientists and medical professionals working in women's health, hormones, development, reproduction, mental health and ageing. This new edition provides crucial insights into your brain health and mental wellbeing and reveals what is going on inside your head at every age and life stage.
