Depression in Women, Laughing Out Loud, Memoir Star

Women and depression: It may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of health conditions that affect women, but, in fact, it is one of the leading reasons women seek out medical help. While it’s not known for sure, higher rates of depression in women than men may be linked to biological and social differences. Cynthia Brian knows that laughter is not only great for the soul but healthy for the body. We will visit with a few funny stories, sayings, and ideas that not only tickle our funny bone, but heal our wounds to help us increase our fun quotient. Susan Bowman is a licensed professional counselor who, at fourteen, ran away from home and battled homelessness. By age nineteen, she was divorced with three children and had to depend on welfare as her only means of financial support. Through perseverance she worked her way out of poverty and through college. She has co-authored the book, Memoir Star, to help you record your stories.
