One more thing. There's a great book called "Screaming to be Heard" by Dr. Vliet. She has offices in Arizona & Texas and specializes in women's hormone's gone awry. Helped me to remember how everything is connected in the body. Also multiple quizzes in the back on: depression, anxiety, sleep disorder, OCD etc to get you started. Jennifer
