A personal investigation about women's hormones and the link between this and mental health. Hormonal will explore everything from contraception to PMS, in relation to anxiety, depression and taboos about hysteria and the hormonal woman.

Hormonal will become the definitive book for any woman who has felt, at some point, as though they were sat at the blinking control panel for a machine they didn't quite know how to work.

Combining her own experiences with extensive research and expert contributions, Eleanor Morgan explores the relationship between the female body, the female mind and the ways in which women's bodies are being medicalised. This book will explore everything from contraception to PMS, in relation to anxiety, depression and taboos about hysteria and the hormonal woman.
