"It's not often a truly innovative book comes along. The author of When Your Body Gets The Blues have done a real service to thousands of women who have been suffering low grade depression, unhealthy eating, loss of sexual interest and noticeable anxiety... without anyone linking these feelings and behaviors and realizing they constituted a syndrome. Finally, a highly qualified professional, a professor at the most prestigious nursing school in the country, has not only got a diagnosis for these women, but a rehabilitative a program that is scientifically tested and works! Her explanation and clinical data show why interventions with light, exercise and vitamin therapy will change a woman's whole approach to her life--and help make her be the woman she wants to be. I have to tell you, the manuscript fascinated me and made such good sense. I would actually recommend this book to any woman who wants to have a better understanding about how her body can dictate her life --and how any woman can take control back!"

"Overcoming depression has been the goal of my adult life. It has affected my relationships (I call depression the silent divorce), my career and most of all my sense of well-being. I am moved to tears by the validation and hope in this book. I not only recommend it, I think it should be required reading in Female 101."
