{"product_id":"9780743293518","title":"A Deeper Shade of Blue: A Woman's Guide to Recognizing and Treating Depression in Her Childbearing Years","description":"Depression affects women almost twice as often as men, with about one in four women suffering from it in her lifetime. While depression may strike at any time, studies show that women are particularly vulnerable during their childbearing years. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Despite the increasing awareness of this deeply concerning issue, many studies and health professionals still continue to focus almost solely on postpartum depression, ignoring the fact that depression is just as likely to affect women while they're trying to conceive and during pregnancy. Now, in this comprehensive, empathetic, and candid book, Dr. Ruta Nonacs, a senior member of the Center for Women's Mental Health at Massachusetts General Hospital and mother of two children herself, confronts the seldom talked-about issues of pregnancy-related depression, including: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Becoming pregnant while being treated for depression \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Infertility-related depression and the effects of fertility treatments \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Understanding the effects of maternal depression on spouses and family \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Postpartum depression and anxiety \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Nonacs also addresses the many complicated issues in a woman's life during the span of her childbearing years -- education, career, marriage, childbearing, and child rearing -- and discusses the ways in which depression often takes hold during potentially stressful times. Nonacs identifies many of the symptoms of depression associated with pregnancy and discusses treatments and cures, as well as ways to minimize effects of depression on family and friends. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Straightforward and honest, as well as emotionally sensitive and deeply moving, \u003ci\u003eA Deeper Shade of Blue\u003c\/i\u003e gives every woman who has suffered from pregnancy-related depression the information she needs to get the best care for herself, during pregnancy and beyond.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47113930637552,"sku":"9780743293518","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780743293518_p0.jpg?v=1763634447","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780743293518","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
