Reviews
With depression "tantamount to a four-letter word" in Latino communities, Hispanic women struggling with the disorder may suffer silently instead of seeking help, say the authors of this gentle guide. Lozano-Vranich, a psychologist and mental health columnist for Latina magazine and others, and Petit, director of Psychiatric Emergency Services at New York's Mount Sinai, outline seven beliefs (in yourself; the signs of depression; change; your body; your spirit; traditions; and the future) they say will help Latinas understand and combat depression. With testimonials from women who've gone through their own struggles, motivational tips, suggestions for therapy and an encouraging tone that recognizes-and celebrates-a Latina's unique cultural identity, with its "mix of traditional values and modern power," this book is an excellent and encouraging primer. An extensive list of recommended readings, hotlines and organizations points readers to further resources.
