All bundled up with a healthy dose of brain science, providing a deeper understanding of the well from which worry springs.

The stories were like something you would have read in school and to then be tested on.

Women were more prone to ruminate than men, the studies found, and in a landmark 1987 paper she argued that this difference accounted for the two-to-one ratio of depressed women to depressed men.
