Holly Atkinson: Books & Videos
Atkinson, a physician and former medical reporter for CBS, examines the physical, psychological, and life-style causes of tiredness and chronic fatigue in women and offers sensible, practical help. She discusses how to deal with the fatigue caused by the hormonal changes of menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. Further, she explores the role of diet and lack of sleep, reviews the beneficial effects of exercise. She encourages the circumspect use of alcohol and over-the-counter and prescription drugs, and warns against smoking. Some fatigue is normal, she stresses, but chronic fatigue should be viewed as a symptom and professional help sought. A comprehensive, useful book for general collections.
