Prompt Shipment, shipped in Boxes, Tracking PROVIDED8.5 x 5.8 x 0.8 inches From Publishers Weekly In her second book, Sheffield (How You Can Survive When They're Depressed) zeroes in on the particular ravages of clinical depression combined with motherhood. Sandwiched between two generations of depressed women in her own family, she supplements interviews and expert findings (university studies that, she claims, never reach a general audience) with her intimate perspective on the disease. Often misdiagnosed or dismissed as "normal," depressionAwhether it takes the form of teenage angst, baby blues or elderly sadness due to the deaths of contemporariesAstrikes one in four women. It affects everyone around its primary victim, including husbands (there's a chapter just for them) and, most detrimentally, children, who manifest its effects through anxiety, low self-esteem and poor school performance. Lauding medication as the first line of defense, the author recommends psychotherapy and family counseling only after the right drug or dosage has been established. While the cause of maternal depression is still far from certain, Sheffield points to heredity as the most likely suspect, with female sex hormones as a possible contributing factor, and offers hope that more answers will soon be forthcoming. Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. From Booklist Sheffield is the daughter of a depressed mother and admits to having been a depressed mother herself. She writes from experience about the impact of a mother's debilitating depression on the emotional well-being of her children. Sheffield profiles people like herself who grew up with depressed mothers and cites research showing the negative effect of maternal depression on children's emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Children of depressed mothers are more likely to develop behavioral problems and learning disorders and to suffer depression themselves as they mature. Sheffield's writing is accessible and nontechnical as she defines depression, outlines symptoms, and examines treatment alternatives. She explores the range of contributing factors, from congenital predisposition to postpartum depression. Sheffield examines why women are more susceptible to depression than men; and how mothers, fathers, and other caregivers can avoid the negative impact on children of depressed mothers. Sheffield, the author of How You Can Survive When They're Depressed (1998), also provides a helpful guide to Web sites, books, and agencies. Vanessa Bush Copyright American Library Association.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Drawing on her experience of growing up with a depressed mother and then, years later, of becoming a depressed mother herself, Books for a Better Life winner Anne Sheffield casts long-overdue light on the grave threat to the health and happiness of millions of women and their children posed by maternal depression. One of every four women suffers from depression at some point in her life, often during the prime childbearing years, yet most fail to recognize the true source of their lack of joy in life and in parenting, their irritability and exhaustion, and the flawed personal relationships that characterize this common, treatable disease.With honesty and empathy, Sheffield uses her own story as a springboard to alert other mothers to the dangers their unrecognized depression holds not only for themselves, but also for their children, whose risk of developing the illness is three times higher than the risk to children of non-depressed parents. She draws on extensive research by experts in psychiatry, psychology, and child development to explain why and how children with a depressed mother may lose out on a rewarding social life, perform below their academic potential, or fall victim to substance abuse.Chapters on each age-group--infancy and toddlerhood, school age, and adolescence--pinpoint the symptoms and effects of a mother's depression on her children and offer advice on how to recognize these effects and so lessen or avoid them. And because depression's fallout destroys family cohesion and harmony, Sheffield draws attention to its impact on marital relations and outlines a strategy for fathers that will help them and their children weather the crisis.The detailed information in Sorrow's Web about how to treat depression at any period in a mother's life--during pregnancy or following delivery, when her children are teenagers, or later in life--will help readers of all ages choose wisely from the range of medical and psychotherapeutic options available. Sheffield offers insider tips on how to tell the difference between good and poor practitioners, how to ensure that the illness does not return, and how to recognize and respond to warning signs of depression in vulnerable children.Dedicated to the author's daughter, Sorrow's Web seamlessly weaves together real-life stories with street-smart advice. As the first book to demystify, destigmatize, and humanize a long-taboo subject, it points the way to sustaining and regaining a loving relationship between mother and child.…
