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
I picked this book up in the public library to glance at while my kids were finishing their homework. I ended up reading it cover to cover and laughing so loud and hard that I embarrased my kids (which is a good thing!) This book will hit home with any woman. Tell a friend!
She's done it for all of us

What a milestone book. Ms. Hamilton is accurate and irreverant to the end. You will recognize yourself and every woman (and even some men) you know. Very easy read and even easier laughs. A must for every member of your family. Great gift!
