Book Description

From the bestselling author of Male Menopause comes another life-transforming book for men-and the women who love them-on overcoming the mood and behavior changes caused by fluctuating male hormones.

It turns out that it's not only women who suffer from hormone-related irritability. Depression, anger, fatigue, moodiness, anxiety, lethargy, low libido, and confusion are just some of the symptoms of a recently identified condition that affects men.

IMS (Irritable Male Syndrome) is in some ways similar to male menopause, but it can affect men of all ages. What often triggers IMS is acute or chronic stress. Focusing on two crucial times of life when male hormones are shifting rapidly - adolescence/young adulthood and midlife - Jed Diamond reports on the latest research from international experts on men's health and hormones, describes in detail the symptoms of IMS, explains how the volatile mood swings of the syndrome can wreak havoc with a man's closest relationships, and provides advice on preventing, diagnosing, and treating IMS.

Just as when he began researching his landmark book on male menopause, Diamond is at the forefront of this controversial subject. He offers readers the most comprehensive, insightful coverage of IMS and the practical wisdom he imparts will help millions.
