PCOS affects everything from one amp rsquo s self-conception and identity, to social relationships, intimacy and sexuality, to physical and mental health. Yet the literature has been largely silent regarding the personal and psychosocial experiences of those with PCOS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Using clear and compelling language, the author promotes a wider understanding of PCOS, calls attention to areas of research need, offers insight to mental health providers whose clients suffer from PCOS, and aims to inspire more positive outcomes for individuals with PCOS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41554663178337,"sku":"9781433837760","price":36.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_36042827.jpg?v=1780941529","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781433837760-psychology-of-pcos","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
