Talk about your Desperate Housewives! Bost, a gynecologist who has been treating harried women for 20 years, had no idea when he began his practice that he'd be hearing so much about fatigue, weight problems, mood swings and low libido. Yet many of his patients were struggling to juggle work, children and relationships while barely maintaining their mental and physical health.
After conferring with other ob-gyn physicians, he discovered that the condition was indeed a common one and typically caused by chronic stress. This stress, estimated to affect some 30 million women, compels women to feel hurried, which leads to a damaging syndrome that, Bost says, is "common … but it is anything but normal."
