The antithesis of every medical guide and health how-to, Our Syndromes, Ourselves exposes the humorous side of female complaints, real and admittedly fabricated. From PMS to Empty Nest Syndrome, Menopause to Mid-Life Crisis, mainstream maladies are analyzed, explained, and interpreted with a new satirical twist. Recently identified conditions such as Dr. Lauranoia, Road Rag, and VADD (Vehicular Attention Deficit Disorder) are examined in nonthreatening laywoman's terms and tongue-in-cheek style. Chapters include a practical description of each syndrome with symptom checklists, quizzes, and treatments that are bogus, at best! First-person case studies are written by "real" funny women who explain how it's possible to live with, yes, even celebrate our dysfunction in today's society!Cathy Hamilton is the author of 'Our Syndromes, Ourselves', published 2000 under ISBN 9780740706653 and ISBN 0740706659.
