About this audiobook
Overworked? Exhausted? Powering between career, family and friends and frazzled and libido-less as a result? No wonder you’re moody! But as New York psychiatrist Julie Holland explains in her radical and eye-opening new book, the first step to overcoming the lows is to accept that being testy is in our nature – we were made to be Moody Bitches.
Being a successful modern woman is hard, and for so many of us the constant flux in our hormones and the dip and dives our mood swings take makes it that much harder. For over 17 years, women have visited celebrated psychopharmacologist Dr Julie Holland looking for the miracle cure to eradicate these feelings. Now, in her illuminating and honest Moody Bitches, she details the invaluable advice she shares with her patients, revealing how suppressing our natural emotions is actually damaging. Instead she offers tried and tested alternatives to help keep the moods under control, making exhaustion and low sex-drive a thing of the past.
From the meds you can trust to those you can’t; from the foods you should be eating, the healthy behaviours you should be practising and the herbal remedies that actually work, Dr Julie imparts wisdom from years of not only professional but personal experience too. Simple yet revolutionary, Moody Bitches is the life-changing self-help book for women and those who love them.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I was intrigued by the premise of the book, but it continuously let me down. Julie Holland writes from a highly heteronormative perspective, as well as a gender essentialist one. She is also anti-polyamory (though I can't tell if she realizes it). At times, it's hard to believe this book didn't come out decades ago, especially when she is being downright sexist in the way she talks about both women and men. I won't call it a total loss - some of her information is interesting as far as just the pure facts go - but I wish it were presented by someone more up to the task.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Hate the title. Love the practical information on medications. Didn't realize that mood changes could be beneficial in any way. Lots of repetitiveness.
