Dr. Julie Holland has had a private psychiatric practice in Manhattan for twenty years. Her nationally bestselling memoir, Weekends at Bellevue, was based on her nine years running the psychiatric emergency room of America’s oldest public hospital. Dr. Holland is an expert on drugs and the brain and appears regularly on the Today show and CNN. She lives in New York’s Harlem Valley with her husband and two children.
Library Journal:
“In a frank style—think good friend who’s a doctor—Holland examines
how prescription drugs work in relation to the stages of women’s
lives. This guidance is aligned with recommendations for healthy
diet and exercise practices that naturally equalize the body’s
systems.”
Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's
Wisdom:
"Feeling moody or bitchy doesn't mean you have a substandard brain
or a psychiatric-medication-du-jour deficiency. In her
groundbreaking new book, psychiatrist Dr. Julie Holland tells you
exactly how to work with your unique brain and body chemistry and
embrace and upgrade all of your feelings."
Laura Corio, M.D., author of The Change Before the
Change:
"Not just informative, Moody Bitches is funny and
provocative. An important guide to health and well being for women
of all ages."
Douglas Rushkoff, author of Present Shock:
"This is the most important book on being a woman since Our
Bodies, Our Selves. Scientific yet compassionate, Dr. Julie Holland
provides actionable, state-of-the-art advice on how women can
navigate through an ever-changing hormonal landscape. She not only
gives women new command over their bodies, but also shows how
extreme moods and emotions might better be listened to than
chemically suppressed."
Gabor Maté, M.D., author of When the Body Says No:
"Dr. Julie Holland gives us a deftly written, deeply insightful
exploration of women's hormonal fluctuations, sensitivities, and
mind states not as pathology to be medicated but as an expression
of their true selves. Moody Bitches is both engrossing
theory and a practical guide enabling women to remain natural in an
unnatural world."
Cacilda Jetha, M.D., and Christopher Ryan, Ph.D., coauthors
of Sex at Dawn:
"This book should be read by moody bitches everywhere and the
befuddled bastards who love them. Dr. Julie Holland has distilled
decade of clinical and personal experience into a radically
commonsense approach to the fluctuations of femininity."
Joshua Wolf Shenk, author of Power of Two:
"Myself, I'm a moody bastard, but I've learned a ton from this
brisk, provocative, and instructive book. Dr. Julie Holland writes
with the authority of a clinician, the warmth of a good friend, and
the urgency of someone who really cares."
Andrew Weil, M.D., author of Spontaneous Happiness:
"Finally, an evidence-based guide to health for women, by a woman,
that speaks to the mind, body, and spirit of womanhood. An
invaluable manual for moody bitches and essential reading for
anyone who knows one."
