Psychosomatics of Women's Health. Neurobiology of the Female Body and Myths: From Hormones to Thinking

Is it true that women’s health problems have psychosomatic origins, and that feelings and experiences reflect on physical condition? Is it really the case that the female brain is not predisposed to solving mathematical problems, unlike the male brain, and... that men are incapable of accurately understanding the emotions of those around them? Or are these merely stereotypes rooted in our thinking? The workings of the brain are much more complex than they seem. Dr. Sarah McKay, a neurobiologist and science communicator, debunks entrenched myths about women's health and explains, in an accessible and engaging manner, how genes and hormones impact our lives from prenatal development to old age, from puberty to menopause. The book presents the results of years of work, laboratory experiments, and research conducted by many leading specialists in the fields of neurobiology and endocrinology. The book was previously published under the title 'The Female Brain: Neurobiology of Health, Hormones, and Happiness'.
