A Collection of Thoughts, Recommendations, ' Real Stories to Help You Turn Defeats into Wins ' Find Your True Self.

Women Who Win Over Depression is both a comprehensive informational resource and storytelling account of women's experiences with depression and related emotional concerns. The author describes her perception of depression and the various factors women face that both contribute to and culminate in a period of transition. Depression can turn a woman's life upside down in the most unexpected, and often most unwelcome, ways.

The author has compiled these lessons and accounts from the perspective of a woman who has both lived through numerous trials and challenges and has committed herself to reaching out to other women struggling with the same concerns. 

Depression is a rather common and widespread illness; however, the author believes that when depression strikes women in middle age, there are unique difficulties and concerns among this population. Although the origins, progression, and course of depression can vary widely from person to person, the author shares her beliefs of how women have far more in common in their journey through emotional struggles than they do differences. She describes the multifaceted roles of women, struggles with identity, and the many social and personal pressures that can ultimately lead to women wanting something more for themselves and their lives. Although change is often not intentionally sought, it can arrive suddenly in the most horrid of disguises in order to allow women an opportunity to rewrite the course of their lives and their future.

Yes, you read that right!

Depression is a transitional phase that offers you unique opportunities to notice what is amiss in your life and to embark upon a journey of change and healing. It is your body's way of saying, "Hey, slow down, look at what's happening here..." The message, however, is not always gentle. Nor does it feel helpful or positive-but it's when you emerge from it, when you're on 'the other side' of depression, that you will look back and think, so that's what it was all about.

For those who have reached a rock-bottom in their lives, caught in a seemingly endless cycle of hopelessness and despair, it is well-known that this period feels as if it has no end, as if the depression is some great beast that has swallowed you whole and will consume you forever, and achieving any sense of normalcy cannot even be imagined as possible. This book provides a look into the future for those who are struggling. This book is real proof that there are women just like you, going through great difficulty, losing their identity, being compelled to create a new life for themselves, falling apart, and somehow, singlehandedly putting themselves back together.
